A: Lumpy jaw (Actinomycosis) and Wooden tongue (Actinobacillosis) occur throughout Australia. It can affect cattle of all breeds, age and sex.
Lumpy jaw is caused by infection with the bacterium Actinomyces bovis that enters the body through cuts and abrasions in the mouth. Lumpy jaw produces lumps on the upper and lower jawbones. Symptoms include swelling, the bone becomes enlarged and honeycombed, and full of pus. If left untreated disfiguration of the head can occur and loss of body condition.
