Abstract
Haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) is caused by Pasteurella multocida (Past, multocida) type 1 or B and occurs in domestic animals especially in cattle and buffaloes (Khera, 1979). It appears that HS has been recorded on clinical and bacteriological grounds in 70 countries and is suspected to occur but not confirmed in about 20 countries (De Alwis, 1984). HS has been recorded in many parts of India. Among top five important diseases of our country, HS occupies second and first positions in morbidity and mortality respectively (Dutta et al., 1990). It has been recorded in many states of India almost every year affecting and killing large number of animals, thus causing severe economic loss.
