A case-control study was undertaken on 46 dairy herds located throughout the province of Quebec. Case herds (N=24) were herds that had a confirmed Neospora caninum abortion between 1993 and 1995. A questionnaire was administered on site to the dairyman to describe the management, feed storage, abortion history, herd health practices, calf health and presence of wild and domestic animals on the premises.
