(McKercher et al.; 1959), endometritis (Wellman et
al., 1974), ocular carcinoma (Russé, . (1955)
and abortion in cattle (Jensen et al, (1955 ) affec
tions in other species as vaginitis and balanitis in
pigs (Onstad & Saxegaard, 19679) respiratory affec
tion in goats (Mohanty et al., Kennedy: 1972). and recurrent —
