Ringworm Farming Note
Ringworm is a fungal zoonotic skin disease, which affects skin, hair and nails. It is highly contagious, with cattle being the most susceptible farm animal. Whilst not a serious illness, ringworm is indicative of a weak immune status and its presence should prompt you to look at the nutrition status of your youngstock.
This Farming Note covers:
- What is ringworm?
- Spread of the disease
- Preventing ringworm infection
- Treating ringworm
