Abstract

Chorioptic mange causes unsightly scabs with pruritus at the base of the tail of confined dairy cattle. Recommended treatment requires drugs with impractical milk withdrawals, and thus mange is a problem in US dairies. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a one-time whole-herd treatment with an approved product for use in lactating dairy cattle.
