    Endocarditis was found in 6 (2.4%) of 247 cattle condemned over a 3-year period beginning with 1969. Thoes cattle were condemned 12-47 days after the onste of symptoms. They suffered from postpartum mastitis, retention of the placenta, metritis, and lameness by infection as primary disorders for 29-59 days before condemnation.
    Difierential diagnosis was difficult between endocarditis and traumatic pericarditis. It was an important clue of diagnosis of the former to listen for cardiac murmur from the right side. Autopsy revealed verruciform growths on the tricuspid valve in all the cases. Histologically, thick laminated thrombus was attached to the atrial surface of the valve, which was thickened and organized in the portion close to the thrombus. Corynebacterium was isolated from the pus of one case.

    Ultrasonic diagnosis (M-mode) was carried out on 3 sick cows with the following results.
    1. Ultrasound cardiograms (UCG) of 2 dairy cows affected with traumatic pericarditis revealed accumulation of fluid in the pericardial space, thickening of the ventricular wall, and an increase in pulse rate.
    2. UCG of a beef cow suffering from endocarditis presented abnormal proliferation and the abnormal movement of the right atrioventricular valve.
    3. The organic changes observed by UCG agreed with postmortem findings macroscopically and in position.

    Septicemic diseases were examined for occurrence among 310, 419 cattle and 1, 727, 297 swine inspected in the Osaka Municipal Abattoir over a period of 4 years beginning with 1968.Salmonella choleraesuis infection was found in 24 pigs, swine erysipelas in 275 pigs, bacterial endocarditis in 221 pigs, and 18 cattle streptococcal infection in 7 pigs, and infection withPasteurella multocida, Corynebacterium pyogenes, and Actinobacillus-like organism in one pig each.
    Etiological organisms were detected from at least 2 organs among kidney, liver, and spleen in 59 pigs affected with septicemia, the septicemic form of swine erysipelas, or Salmonella infection. They were detected from three organs in forty of the 59 pigs.
    The viable bacterial count of etiological agents was 102-107 per gram of organ in animals infected with Salmonella or Erysipelothrix insidiosa, and 102 and 104 per gram of carcase in animals infected with Sslmonella, and the septicemic form of swine erysipelas.
