Animals were closely observed for the first appearance of the clinical signs the time at which animals were interfered with surgically (22 h post dosing). The surgical treatment was aimed at complete evacuation of the rumen with final replacement of the content with ruminal ingesta from healthy animal. Blood and ruminal parameters over a suitable time intervals were monitored to evaluate the treatment response. All treated animals showed a good response in their blood and intraruminal parameters. They resumed eating and drinking by 4 to 5 days post dosing and were bright and alert by the 6 to 7 days post-dosing.} }
