Abstract
1. Three hundred and twenty samples from apparently healthy slaughtered sheep were collected from different parts of the alimentary tract viz., rumen, reticulum, omasum, abomasum, duodenum, j ileum and colon to be examined for Clostrjdia. The samples proved to be harbouring 263 Clostridial organisms (82 7.) and the predominant isolate was j.. perfrinQens which was found in all examined parts of the alimentary tract.
The toxigenic isolates of i.perfrinQens were 147 (66.57.) and the non toxigenic isolates were 74 (33.5 7.).
Type A was predominant and it was found in 45.7 h (101 strains), while type B was found in 4 strains (1.8 7.) and type D in 42 strains (19 7.)
Also Cl. bifermentans, Cl. parautrificum, Cl. sporogenes, Cl. tertium, Cl. butyricum, Cl. litusburense, Cl.
sphenoid, Cl. fallax, .innomenatum, ci..
paraperferinpens and .Cadaveris could be identified from the samples.
2. Examination of 125 faecal samples (100 of sheep, 25 of goats), for the presence of Clostridia organisms revealed that the incidence Clostridial organisms in 96 X of sheep samples and 100
