Abstract
The present case study reports Clostridium sps. infection in a group of dead lambs. Dead Lambs of age group 4-8 months were brought to the local veterinary dispensary. The farmers reported that lambs were passing coffee coloured urine, no signs of fever but were weak and dull. Later after three days shivering was observed and lambs became recumbent and collapsed to death. The lambs were vaccinated against enterotoxemia and general deworming one month back. On post mortem, the pathognomic lesion found the kidney was very soft with necrotic pale foci all over the surface. Grams staining and biochemical tests were performed with the specimens obtained on post mortem which revealed Gram positive bacilli rods and a positive result was shown for litmus milk test.
