A total of 126 lamb carcases, of which 80 were jaundiced and 46 were grossly normal at routine meat inspection, were examined. Two specific diseases were demonstrated to be associated with jaundiced carcases. Eperythrozoon infection was demonstrated in 65% of jaundiced, and 12% of non-jaundiced carcases from jaundice-affected lots, but not in 5 normal carcases from unaffected killing lots. Copper poisoning was demonstrated in 2 of the jaundiced carcases. Infection with Eperythrozoon ovis was therefore the condition most commonly associated with, and presumably the major cause of jaundice in these lamb carcases. Copper poisoning was a less common cause of jaundice.
总共检查了126具羔羊 carcasses，其中80具在常规肉类检查时黄疸，46具外观正常。发现两种特定疾病与黄疸 carcasses 有关。在受黄疸影响批次的65%黄疸 carcasses 和12%非黄疸 carcasses 中检测到附红细胞体感染，但在未受影响屠宰批次的5具正常 carcasses 中未检测到。在2具黄疸 carcasses 中检测到铜中毒。因此，绵羊附红细胞体感染是这些羔羊 carcasses 中最常与黄疸相关的情况，可能也是黄疸的主要原因。铜中毒是黄疸的较不常见原因。
