The tetanus bacterium (Clostridium tetrani) is present everywhere but develops only under anaerobic conditions, which means that it thrives in situations where oxygen is not present. It could very well lay dormant in cattle feed, just as it does in street dirt, but it is normally introduced through a deep wound where oxygen is not present.
It is unlikely (probably impossible) to develop through ingestion of the feed. More likely it will develop through the bite of another infected animal, or through a punture wound.
