“…Previously, Ilemobade (1984), Aning and Koney (1996), Awad et al (2008), Nath et al (2010 and Gebreyohannes and Gebresselassie (2013) reported the efficacy of long acting oxytetracyclines in the treatment of animal dermatophilosis. Also Gbodi and Ndife (1982), Rosyehuk (1989), Yeruham et al (1995), Reed et al (2004 and Aitken (2007) proved the efficacy of penicillin in the treatment of animal dermatophilosis.…”

This study was conducted in Qassim region, central of Saudi Arabia to study the clinical signs associated with dermatophilosis in sheep and goats with therapeutic trials using two treatment regimes. Diagnosis of dermatophilosis was based on the appearance of the characteristic skin lesions on the affected animals and demonstrating the causal organism from the lesions beneath the scabs. Clinically, the examined diseased sheep and goats showed lesions in the form of exudative dermatitis and formation of thick greasy scabs. These lesions were mainly observed on the back of the infected animals. All cases were detected during November, December and January (2013 and 2014). Treatment of the infected animals using long acting oxytetracycline, 3 doses 3 days apart gave the same results as penicillin plus streptomycin administered for five consecutive days. From the technical point of view, it is recommend that long acting oxytetracycline, 3 doses 3 days apart are less demanding than penicillin plus streptomycin for five consecutive days.

“…Topical therapy is seldom effective, owing to the thick scabs which are produced and thus chemotherapy has been based on the use of systemic antibiotics. Roberts (6) and Blancou (7) advocated the use of high dose penicillin and streptomycin combinations given as a single dose but the large amounts of antibiotic required necessitate several injections and the high rates of cure reported by these authors have not been obtained by others (8,9,Lloyd,personal observations found this formulation to be much less useful. The studies reported here were carried out on the island of St. Kitts in the Leeward Islands.…”

Abstract— Fifty‐two cattle on two ranches in St. Kitts were divided into initial treatment and control groups, matched as closely as possible by age, sex and extent of dermatophilosis. Nine unaffected animals were included. The initial treatment group was given long‐acting oxytetracycline at the rate of 20 mg.kg‐1. After 4 weeks the control group was similarly treated. The cattle were observed at weekly intervals for a total of 6 weeks. In each group there was a pronounced decrease in the extent of the disease after treatment. This was most apparent in lightly affected animals and on the trunk. Lesions tended to persist in the tick predilection sites and extremities. Complete recovery occurred in 8 (21 per cent) of cattle. The disease tended to recur in treated animals particularly on one of the ranches in which a low standard of husbandry prevailed. On the other ranch improvements in tick control and feeding were associated with a continuing low level of infection. The results show that long‐acting oxytetracycline can be used to conveniently halt outbreaks of dermatophilosis and allow time for changes in management designed to reduce recurrence of the disease. Résumé— 52 bovins présents sur 2 ranchs à Saint‐Kitts, ont été divisés en groupes d'animaux traités et en groupe d'animaux témoins, répartis aussi minutieusement que possible selon l'âge, le sexe et l'extension de la dermatophilose. Le groupe des animaux traités a reçu de l'oxytétracycline‐retard à la dose de 20 mg.kg‐1. Après 4 semaines, le groupe d'animaux témoins fut traité de la même manière. Les bovins furent observés une fois par semaine pendant une durée totale de 6 semaines. Dans chaque groupe, il y eut une baisse sensible de l'extension de la maladie après le traitement. Ce fut le plus manifeste sur des animaux légèrement atteints et sur le tronc. Les lésions ont tendu à persister sur les sites de prédilection des tiques et sur les extrémités. Une guérison complète fut notée sur 8 (21%) des bovins. Les maladies tendaient à récidiver sur les animaux traités, principalement dans l'un des ranchs, où les conditions d'entretien étaient d'un niveau médiocre. Dans l'autre ranch, des améliorations dans l'erradication des tiques et dans l'alimentation ont été associées avec la persistance d'un niveau faible d'infection. Les résultats montrent que l'oxytétracycline retard peut être utilisée pour árrêter commodément les poussées de dermatophilose et laisser du temps pour modifier les méthods afin de récluire la récidive de la maladie. Zusammenfassung— 52 Rinder in zwei Betrieben auf St. Kitts wurden in je eine Erstbehandlungs‐und eine Kontrollgruppe aufgeteilt, die mÖglichst ähnlich in Alter, Geschlecht und Ausprägungsgrad der Dermatophilose waren. Neun dieser Tiere waren nicht erkrankt. Die Erstbehandlungsgruppe erhielt ein Langzeit‐Oxytetracyclin in der Dosierung von 20mg.kg‐1. Nach 4 Wochen wurde die Kontrollgruppe nach dem gleichen Schema behandelt. Die Tiere wurden über einen Zeitraum von sechs Wochen in wÖchentlichen Abständen untersucht. In beiden Gru...
