Robert A. Sterndale
I have known several instances on particular farms where they were unable to raise either foals or calves, but if the mother were removed to another farm immediately after or before Foaling, the foal or calf lived and was reared without difficulty, and although constitutional debility plays an important part, the presence of specific germs constituting an infected area is, I believe, the most important factor in producing this disease.
