Fifteen of a group of 200, 7-month old feedlot calves are lame. The calves arrived at
the feedlot approximately one month ago, and one week later 40 of the animals
developed pneumonia. These calves were treated with oxytetracycline, and the
pneumonia appeared to resolve. On physical examination, the affected calves have
swellings in the carpi, tarsi, and stifles with distention of associated tendon sheaths,
and a stiff gait. Two calves are euthanized. Postmortem examination shows fibrinous
pleuritis and papillary muscle necrosis. Which of the following organisms is the most
likely cause of these signs?
A) Arcanobacterium (Actinomyces) pyogenes
B) Histophilus somni (Haemophilus somnus)
C) Mannheimia (Pasteurella) haemolytica
D) Pasteurella multocida
E) Salmonella typhimurium

Histophilus somni
, A steer that is unable to regulate rumen gas expulsion has been treated for the past

A) Acute, local peritonitis
B) Chronic pericarditis
C) Continued legume diet
