==Description==
Hepatic abscessation occurs most commonly in cattle and is associated with a roughage-deficient or high concentrate diet. Sudden change in diet to a high grain diet causes ruminal acidosis and rumenitis predisposing to hepatic abscessation. The disease is an important cause of economic losses due to reduced production efficiency and carcass condemnation or trimming.
