Abstract
Heifers (Israeli-Holstein), aged 12-18 months, permanently maintained in op en barns on an inadequate nutritional regime were found to be moderately to heavily infested by Haematopinus quadripertusus, the tail louse. The sever ely infested heifers showed keratoconjunctivitis and periorbital papillomat osis. Two treatments with an alpha -cypermethrin pour-on product 14 days ap art controlled the lice, and were followed by alleviation of the inflammati on and regression of the papillomas.
