Histophilus ovis and Actinobacillus seminis were isolated from the preputial cavity of 6-month-old rams and the vagina of 6-month-old ewes at a substantially higher rate than that in mature (greater than 2 years old) rams and ewes. These organisms appeared to be a transitory component of the ovine genital flora, the prevalence of which was associated with age regardless of gender. Additional evaluation of the recoverability of H ovis and A seminis from the preputial cavity of rams from birth to 1 year of age indicated that the isolation rate from rams and predominance of the organisms in the preputial cavity differed greatly over this age period. These organisms were not recoverable until ram lambs were 12 weeks of age and were most prevalent at 20 weeks of age, after which recoverability of H ovis and A seminis from the preputial cavity steadily decreased, continuing through the time of the last evaluation at 1 year of age. The time period with which these organisms can be isolated from the preputial cavity is closely correlated with the time period when epididymitis associated with these organisms develops, and may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of epididymitis.
