Scrotal mange

Abstract

Extract

Sir —I am assessing the effects of scrotal mange on ram fertility, and would like to test semen in a flock of rams where there is a severe outbreak of the disease. A severe outbreak would entail that a proportion of the rams lesions involving one third of the scrotum (see fig. 1) with exudate approximately one centimetre thick. An outbreak on this scale is probably rare, and I would appreciate the co-operation of any veterinarian in assisting me to locate a suitable flock.
