504 diagnostic samples were subjected to a fluorescence serology and culturah test for black quarter and malignant oedema. In 459 cases (91.1%) the results of both testing methods wede identical. 26 first results were made by culture (14 X malignant oedema, 12 X black quarter). 19 results (14 malignant oedema, 5 X black quarter) were obtained by immuno-fluorescence only. Culture was shown to be not significantly better than fluorescence, especially in determining black quarter. In the diagnosis of black quarter and malignant oedema the combination of immunofluorescence with culture can be considered as the optimal testing method available at the present time, in that by this method there would be no need for an additional diagnostic test on the animal.
504份诊断样本接受了黑腿病和恶性水肿的荧光血清学及培养检测。在459例（91.1%）中，两种检测方法的结果相同。26个首次结果是通过培养得出的（14例恶性水肿，12例黑腿病）。19个结果（14例恶性水肿，5例黑腿病）仅通过免疫荧光获得。结果表明，培养并不比荧光检测显著更好，尤其是在诊断黑腿病方面。在黑腿病和恶性水肿的诊断中，免疫荧光与培养相结合可被视为目前可用的最佳检测方法，因为通过这种方法无需对动物进行额外的诊断检测。
