An outbreak of abortion occured among a herd of 79 Friesian cows recently introduced to the New Valley Governorate led to 19 cases of abortions from which eleven were died.
Salmonella typhinurium and salmonella dublin were recovered from the stomach content, liver and lungs of the aborted calves.
In vitro, kanamycin was the most effective drug. Field trials showed the efficiency of kamamycin and sanitary precautions for controling the disease in the farm.
