Abstract
A study was carried out to evaluate the therapeutic effect of BPMC (2-sec-butylphenyl-N-methylcarbamate) on calves affected with ringworm. These calves harboredTrichophyton verrucosumwhich was isolated from skin lesions, and showed keratinization in the horny layer, hyperplasia and edema in the germinal layer of the epidermis, and proliferation of fungi in hair follicles.
After the topical treatment with BPMC once a week for 3 or 4 cosecutive weeks, no fungi were isolated from the lesions, from which the histopathological changes disappeared. It was confirmed that BPMC was very effective against ringworm in calves.
