The conditions shown above are clearly conducive to all kinds of infection. Note the pool of stagnant water surrounded by mud wallows, manure and decaying vegetable matter. Breed appears to play no part as regards susceptibility to this dis- ease. Condition of the swine undoubtedly is a factor in susceptibil- ity ; however, shotes in the best of condition become affected. Climatic conditions have little or no influence in the prevalence of infectious necrotic enteritis, although the disease appears to be more common in late spring and early autumn, probably because that is the season when the majority of the pig crop is of the most susceptible age. Sanitary conditions in which the swine are maintained have an in- fluence upon the susceptibility of swine to the infection; however, the.
