Abstract
Inflammation of the tail tip occurs commonly during the intensive fatt ening of bulls, resulting in substantial economic losses. The aetiolog y remains unclear and there is a need to study the pathogenesis. The r esults of macroscopic and microscopic examinations on 22 affected tail s which had required surgical amputation are described and possible ca uses are discussed.
