Abstract

A bacteriological survey was made for the aerabic Actinonmycetes from the vaginal exudates of apparently healthy dairy cows in Gyeongbug area. One hundred twenty isolated were made from 1,328 cows. Among them 30 isolates (25%) were identified as Nocardia asteriodes, 4 (3.3%) as Nocaradia brasiliensis, and 2 (1.7%) as Nocardia madurae. The remaining 84 isolates (70%) were identified as Streptomyces species.
