K L Anderson, and M M Hamoud, and J W Urbance, and H E Rhoades, and J H Bryner

Campylobacter jejuni was isolated in pure culture from the tissues and stomach contents of an aborted fetus from a mixed-breed Illinois goat herd. In the herd, 5 of 21 does aborted in late gestation. The does had diarrhea before or concurrent with the abortions. Does that did not abort were vaccinated with ovine C fetus bacterin and were given chlortetracycline orally at the rate of 75 mg/day for 2 weeks. Further abortions did not occur.
