Two bacterial diseases of cattle are:
  1. Anthrax - Anthrax is a highly contagious and infectious soil-borne disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, a relatively large spore-forming bacteria that can infect mammals. Anthrax is primarily a disease of herbivores, particularly bison and beef cattle.
  2. Blackleg - It is an infectious bacterial disease most commonly caused by Clostridium chauvoei, a Gram-positive bacterial species.
