Abstract

Dermatitis due to zinc deficiency in buffaloes brought to the clinic was described in the current report. Scaly, eczematous lesions and areas of alopecia were observed at various parts of the body (face, ears, legs, udder, perineum, vulva, etc). Cracking at coronet and below the hock regions were also observed. Oral supplementation of zinc sulphate and topical application of zinc oxide resulted in complete resolution of the skin lesions.
