title: [Botulism in cattle and meat inspection].
abstract: Three animals suspected of the presence of botulism, which were found to be infected with Clostridium botulinum type D were slaughtered in a special slaughter-house. The presence of C. botulinum in cattle and the decision reached by the meat inspection are discussed. Central registration of all cases of botulism observed in The Netherlands is advocated.
