Abstract

An outbreak of granular vulvitis and ulcerative posthitis in 24-month-old virgin Bonsmara heifers and bulls is reported. Ureaplasma was isolated locally from all the clinically infected cattle. There was marked clinical improvement within 3 d of the commencement of a 5 d course of tylosin administered intramuscularly at 10 mg kg-1. Ureaplasma could not be cultured from the external genitalia of either heifers or bulls following clinical recovery. Details of the Ureaplasma culture media are given.
