Hemophilus somnus in the reproductive tracts of slaughtered cows: location and frequency of isolations and lesions

R. B. Miller, D. A. Barnum and K. E. McEntee

One hundred bovine female reproductive tracts were examined for the presence of Hemophilus somnus, and fifty were examined for gross and microscopic lesions. H. somnus was isolated from eight of 100 tracts. The isolation was made from the vagina in seven cows. Of 24 tracts in which the major vestibular gland was sampled, three were positive at this site, and two of these three also had the organism isolated from the vagina. Further investigations into the role of the major vestibular gland as a source for continuing infections of the reproductive tract of cattle were indicated. In this investigation, H. somnus was as likely to be found in a region without lesions as one with lesions.
