Abstract :The correlations between the bacteriologic agent of lamb pneumonia and its pathologic characters were investigated in this study. Pneumonia was detected in 262 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(35.41%); of 740 diseased or dead lambs. Pathogenic bacteria were isolated in 114 cases insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.96% of all lamb deaths and 43.51% of all pneumonias);. Lung lesions were histopathologically described as acute-catarrhal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.56%);, catarrhal-purulent insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(14.50%);, purulent-necrotic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(9.54%);, fibrinous insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(26.72%);, fibrinous-necrotic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5.73%);, interstitial insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(18.32%);, or verminous pneumonia insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7.63%);. In bacteriological studies, Mannheimia haemolytica insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(56.14%);, E. coli insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(24.56%);, and Pasteurella multocida insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10.52%); were detected as important bacterial agents that caused different pneumonic lesions in lambs.
