To establish the preventive against bovine botulism, the effects of sugar on the transport of botulinum toxin complex(L-TC) via cultured intestinal epithelial cells were examined. L-TC permeated the cell monolayers, and the permeation were potently inhibited by sialic acid in the cell culture medium, indicating that the binding of botulinum toxins to cell surface sialic acid leads to their transcytosis through intestinal epithelial cells. Present results imply that bovine botulism can be prevented by an addition of sialic acid to feed
