Fresh bovine and swine bile and dehidrated bovine bile in association with chloridric acid, glucose, peptone or distilled water were utilized to induce evagination of C. bovis. Better results were obtained by using bovine or swine fresh bile 15% or dehidrated bovine bile 4% in distilled water. The C. bovis evagination pattern was the same in broths containing bovine or swine bile. The bovine dehidrated bile at 4% is better for the evagination than the natural one; in the studied concentrations a increase in the percentage of evagination was observed with a concomitant increase in the concentration of bile.
