How is the treatment of skin diseases such as scabies on the skin of goats and how is it treated ?
Answer:
Thank you for the submitted question. Scabies or scabies or ringworm is another name for scabies. Scabies is an infectious skin disease caused by parasites outside the body, namely mites and is zoonotic or contagious to humans. Scabies is caused by mites Sarcoptes scabiei. This disease affects all ages of livestock, especially young cattle. Transmission of scabies occurs horizontally, namely direct contact transmission with sick animals or indirectly through material contaminated with mites Sarcoptes.
Clinical symptoms observed in cattle are reddish skin, then formed like blisters and inflammation, sometimes to discharge due to irritation and then the surface of the skin formed a scab or crust. Cattle will feel itching which then often scratching or rubbing his body so that there is a wound.
If cattle affected by scabies need to be separated sick cattle from healthy cattle and then treatment is carried out to kill the mites, for example by using Wormectin Plus Bolus, Wormectin Plus or Wormectin Injection and no less important is to regularly keep the cage clean and spray the cage with antiectoparasites such as Delatrin.
To prevent transmission or to control the disease measures that can be taken include :
- Do not sell and buy livestock suffering from scabies so as not to transmit the disease to other livestock or other areas
- Quarantine or isolate newly arrived livestock (avoiding contagion of suffering livestock but still in the incubation period) and observe their health
- Maintain the cleanliness of the cage and spray the cage regularly with disinfectants such as with Medisep, Antisep or Zaldes, as well as antiectoparasites such as Delatrin.
