Abortion losses can be a major loss for domestic animal producers. In some cases, nearly a year of preparation and great expense may be lost in an abortion. There are a number of infectious, toxicologic, and non-infectious causes for termination of or unsuccessful reproductive outcome of gestation. We will explore some of the common infectious causes based on species and typical diagnostic approaches used to identify a specific etiology. With potential emphasis on the discussion of zoonotic potential of several pathogens. Typical necropsy procedures particular to the fetal necropsy will be discussed. Additionally, typical complications to the identification of a potential etiology for abortion/stillbirth will be discussed.
