The capsule stains mauve with polychrome methylene blue in the MacFadyean's reaction. This can be used to identify anthrax in blood samples. Bacilli appear as chains of dark blue, square-ended rods surounded with the capsule.

''Bacillus anthracis'' causes tissues to darken and swell due to oedema and necrosis. It causes capillary thrombosis, the leakage of fluid through damaged capillary endothelium. Systemic shock from circulatory collapse, [[Vascular Fragility|haemorrhagic disease]] and oedema lead to death of the animal. It causes severe systemic disease that can result in [[:Category:Intestine - Inflammatory Pathology by Cause|enteritis]] and [[Peritonitis #In pigs|peritonitis in pigs]].
