Alternative methods of storing bovine fecal specimens for delayed culture of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis was studied. Significant (P less than 0.05) losses of viability were sustained by storage at 23 degrees C for 10 days and by treatment with 0.03 Zephiran for 4 and 10 days. Losses were moderate after storage at -70 degrees C for 15 weeks but significant (P greater than 0.05) after storage at 23 degrees C for 4 days. The alternative methods were compared with the standard method of processing specimens upon receipt and after 2 days in transit. Fecal specimens from 18 cattle were cultured.
