Abstract

Recommendations for investigation of a problem herd are discussed. Our findings suggest that the historical increases in milk production associated with the dairy industry's increases in ration density, as well as overt contamination of haylage, may be creating a new "niche" opportunity for an organism previously considered non-pathogenic.
