*C. haemolyticum found in soil, poorly drained/wet pastures

Adisease of cattle and sheep caused by ''[[Clostridium haemolyticum]]''.which is a bacteria from the class clostridia. C. haemolyticum is found in soil, poorly drained/wet pastures and is highly fatal to livestock. The bacteria produces a beta toxin and causes hepatic necrosis and intravascular haemolysis. The disease is often associated with a disease in the liver causing anaerobic conditions allowing the groeth of bacteria and hence toxin production.
