Apart from the initial volcanic origin of Bermuda,...

Ileal impaction is prevalent in the south-eastern USA, where feeding of Coastal Bermuda hay has been implicated as a risk f a c t o r. A l t e r n a t i v e l y, infection with the tapeworm Anoplocephala perfoliata has been identified as a risk factor f o r ileal impaction in the UK. We hypothesised that feeding Coastal Bermuda hay and failure to administer routinely an anthelmintic with effica...
