Abstract

Udder rot, or intertrigo of the udder, is characterized by foul-smelling, necrotic lesions between the lateral udder and medial thigh or between the halves of the udder. The etiology is unknown, but suspected causes include periparturient edema and mite infestation. The purpose of our study was to describe the occurrence of udder cleft dermatitis in a dairy herd experiencing an outbreak of sarcoptic mange.
