Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect humans and animals, causing hair loss and scaly skin. Cows are particularly prone to this infection, with symptoms often appearing on their head, neck, and other parts of the body. A recent study was conducted at LFC, Apollo College of Veterinary Medicine in Jaipur, and on various farms found that 20 cattle calves between three months to one year old had skin lesions and tested positive for Trichophyton sp. Treatment with a 2% liq. Povidone iodine application, followed by a topical application of Whitefield ointment twice a day for 15 consecutive days, resulted in full recovery for all affected cows.
