Histological changes in the gastrointestinal tract of a calf with clostridial infection

This paper describes the clinical signs of the disease and pathologic-anatomical changes in the gastrointestinal tract in a fallen calf up to 10 days of age. A preliminary diagnosis was made of enterotoxemia. The final diagnosis was confirmed for clostridial infection after laboratory examination of pathological material in the form of pieces of internal parenchymal organs and intestinal areas with mesenteric lymph nodes. Histological examination of the affected areas of the abomasum, small and large intestine was carried out. At the same time, characteristic necrobiotic changes have been established in them.
