Clostridial agents cannot be eradicated because they are universally present in soil and the intestinal tract of cattle. They produce potent toxins that can result in death of otherwise healthy animals, often with great speed.
Use in healthy cattle against blackleg caused by Clostridium chauvoei, malignant edema-Cl. septicum, black disease-Cl. novyi, gas-gangrene-Cl. sordellii, and enterotoxemia and enteritis caused by Cl. perfringens types B,C, & D.
