These results suggest that on this farm, Clostridium novyi was one of the main aetiological agents responsible for sow mortality. After the implementation of a vaccination programme against the alpha toxin, the mortality rate was significantly reduced.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Clostridium novyi immunization by using a commercial vaccine as a tool for the prevention of sudden death.
