“Cattle with liver abscesses do not exhibit clinical signs, and the abscesses are detected only during processing,” said Raghavendra Amachawadi, associate professor of food animal therapeutics in the department of clinical sciences. “The objective was to conduct a comprehensive metabolites analysis, called metabolomics, of purulent materials of liver abscesses to identify…
