Record High Outbreaks of Cattle Scabies Seen in February
Washington AP reports 32 outbreaks of psoroptic cattle scabies in February, the worst winter period in 25 years for spread. The disease irritates hides and causes itching, reducing cattle feeding. Quarantines on affected herds stay until all cattle are treated or slaughtered and found mite-free. Severe winter weather is blamed for limiting spread, but officials warn the disease remains a financial risk to ranches.
