In the southeastern United States, feeding of sub-optimal coastal Bermuda hay has been implicated as a risk factor. It is thought this forage contains a high amoutn of thin fibres which are prematurely swallowed. Sudden feed changes may als be a risk (38). In the UK, tapeworm infection is an important risk factor. Data suggests that more than 80% of ileal impactions were associated with serological or faecal evidence of tapeworm infection(39).
