Jejunal hemorrhage syndrome in 2 Canadian beef cows.
Two beef cows were presented with a history of anorexia and abdominal pain. Both cows were euthanized. Necropsy revealed the presence of a segmental area of ulceration, necrosis, and intraluminal blood clots in the jejunum. Jejunal hemorrhage syndrome is an emerging disease and has not been reported previously in beef cattle.
