NECROBACILLOSIS Under this term are included three different types of an infec- tious disease commonly affecting young pigs, more rarely calves. These affections are known as "sore mouth" or "necrotic stoma- titis," "bull nose" or "sniffles, "and "necrotic enteritis" respec- tively. All forms are directly contagious.

This germ gains entrance to the soft tissues of the mouth, nose, and intestines through abrasions of the mucous membrane lining these organs. It thrives in damp litter and soil of pig pens.
