Bacillary hemoglobinuria associated with hepatic necrobacillosis in a yearling feedlot heifer.
Bacillary hemoglobinuria was diagnosed in a yearling heifer in a large western Canadian feedlot. The animal had come through a terminal market in another province and arrived in the feedlot three weeks previously. Predisposing hepatic injury may have been caused by Fusobacterium infection secondary to the rumenitis of grain overload.
