Actinomyces bovis is the primary cause
Actinomyces bovis is common inhabitant (flora) of the mouth and digestive tract, Gram positive, grow in branching filaments (crushed preparation of sulfur granules from pus or tissues), coccoid, or filament rods have distinct cell walls.
It is difficult to cultivate, required media contain serum or blood, incubate at 37oC forming granular to smooth microcolonies.
Actinomyces bovis is a common inhabitant of the bovine mouth and infection is presumed to occur through
wounds to the buccal mucosa caused by sharp pieces of feed or foreign material.
Infection may also occur through dental alveoli, and may account for the more common occurrence of the disease in young cattle when the teeth are erupting.
Infection of the alimentary tract wall is probably related to laceration by sharp foreign bodies.
