| − | *Response of the lungs to aspirated foreign material will depend on the nature of the material (e.g. food), the bacterial load and the distribution of the material within the lungs
| |
| − | *Mild bronchopneumonia can develop into a severe necrotising pneumonia and in very severe cases can progress to gangrenous pneumonia (below)
| |
| − | *In Cattle
| |
| − | **Associated with poor husbandry

| − | *In Horses
| |
| − | **Most commonly in right ventral lung lobe (most rostral secondary bronchus leads to right accessory lobe)
