Large numbers of orally inoculated thiaminase type 1-producing Clostridium sporogenes failed to establish in the alimentary tract of two conventionally born lambs. Conversely, when similar inoculations were given to two gnotobiotic lambs, large populations of Cl sporogenes established in their
Specimens from cattle and sheep suspected of having cerebrocortical necrosis (CCN) were studied. Rumenal contents were examined for thiaminase-producing bacteria. Thiaminase activity was assessed in rumenal contents. The thiamine concentration of liver, brain and heart was determined and erythrocyte
Three flocks in which in with one of more sheep had succumbed to polioencephalomalacia (cerebrocortical necrosis) were used for faecal thiaminase studies. Up to one third of the clinically normal animals in these flocks to be excreting thiaminase on any one day and over half the flock could be
The effects of acidogenic conditions, a high S level and the addition of thiamin on the rumen microbial metabolism of thiamin were investigated in vitro in a semi-continuous fermenter (RUSITEC), using a factorial design. Acidogenic conditions were obtained by simultaneously increasing the starch:
