Abstract

A five-year-old elk (Cervus canadensis) was presented for necropsy to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Chungbuk National University, on May 1999. The farmed elk was died on day 5 after velvet antler removal. By history taking, the elk didn't show any clinical signs except for watery diarrhea during 2 days. For the purpose of physical examination at the velvet antler removal, blood was collected from the femoral vein of elk with a mixture of fentanyl-azaperone-xylazine ($Fentazin-10^{\circledR}$). Urine was collected from the bladder within 3 hours after died. Hemato-logical and clincochemical values of the elk showed normal ranges. In the microscopic finding, many round and ellipse sarcocystis were identified in the cardiac muscle fibers without any surrounding inflammatory reaction.
