Plate 37 See also Figure 8.19 Skin rash seen in
a pig with Erysipelothrix insidiosa sp. (now E. rhu-
siopathiae) infection. This pig was treated with
antibiotics and subsequently recovered.

Plate 36 See also Figure 8.14 There are often a lot
of deaths at lambing time but the presence of the
occasional deformed lamb may not necessarily indi-
cate that there is a disease present. Abnormalities
like this one-eyed lamb (‘cyclops’) occur during
development, abnormal embryos are usually reab-
sorbed or aborted early in development. Occasionally
some survive to term but die shortly after birth. This
lamb was one of two, the other lamb was normal.
Some mycotoxins, plants or drugs may result in
foetal abnormality (that is, they are teratogenic).
