Abstract:
The cutaneous growth on the skin commonly in neck, teat and also in certain other region of the body is a characteristic feature of Bovine Papillomatosis (warts). A one and half year old female Holstein Friesian cross bred heifer was presented with cutaneous warts on the neck, udder region and also all over the body which was filiform type in nature and of different sizes. Few months earlier, the case was treated elsewhere and based on history and physical examination it was diagnosed as bovine Papillomatosis. In this study only one dose of autogenous vaccine was given intramuscularly instead of regular autohaemotherapy where the treatment goes for four weeks. After fifteen days of interval the warts were showing shrinkage, later by six weeks all the wart tissue got sloughed off and the skin was free of warts.
