Mange, also known as allergic dermatitis, is a condition wherein cattle are infected by nasty parasites called mites. Mites are nasty and pesky parasites that thrive on the skin layers of cattle and other animals. Cattle can acquire mites by having some direct contact with an animal that has been infected by mites. Once the mites “have landed” in a cattle’s skin, it can stay there for approximately two weeks and this is the time when they can wreak havoc by creating an infection.
When cattle are infested by mites, you would notice the cattle have irritation as well as intense itching.
These reactions by cattle can lead to it having inflammation, raw skin, as well as sores. As time goes by, there can be skin scabs, crusts, as well as exudates. If this infestation is left unchecked and uncontrolled, the mange infestation can eventually bring about skin thickening and have a huge negative impact on the cattle’s quality of life.
Any problems affecting the skin of cattle should be checked out by a veterinary clinic Dahlonega GA.
