Abstract
Eight pedunculated jejunal polyps 4–13mm in diameter were found in a 3 to 5-month-old lamb during routine meat inspection at an export slaughterhouse in Canterbury. Histological examination revealed papilliform growths consisting of hyperplastic villi with numerous developmental stages of coccidia-like organisms in the epithelial cells of the polyps' mucosa. It is suggested that this specimen represents an uncommon manifestation of chronic ovine coccidiosis.
