    (2) Although ulceration of the bowel is commonly associated with lamb dysentery, the organism can be isolated from lambs •dying of “ milk ill ” in which no ulceration is present. (d) The conclusion that the organism is the cause of lamb dysentery is based on :— (a) Its constant presence in affected lambs and its absence in normal lambs and those dying from diseases other than lamb dysentery. (b) Its presence in the soil of infected land and its absence from other soils. (c) Its ability to reproduce the disease when fed to or injected into normal lambs. (d) The ability of its antitoxin to prevent lamb dysentery in lambs on infected farms. (e) The protection of lambs from lamb dysentery by the inocu¬ lation of ewes with antigen made from the organism, antibodies being transferred from the ewe to the lamb probably mainly in the milk.
