Abscess - 1 Nyala ram --malnutrition and maladaptation--pm; rumen acidosis; focal pneumonia, poor condition, massive liver abscessation Mortalities 3 Vlakhase --severe mortality (more than 20 cases found) in a small area but on – a very big farm. Severe pathology in the ones that I have post-mortemed. I also became very sick within 2 days after having done the pm and is still not doing well.
