Abstract:

There are very few reports in the literature of suppurative lesions of the scrotal contents of rams; in fact, we have seen only one reference (Jamieson and Soltys, 1947) in which a suppurative epididymo-orchitis caused by Pasteurella pseudotuberculosis is described. It is therefore of interest to record our preliminary observations on a specific suppurative disease of the epididymis and adjacent structures of ram hoggets.
