During three successive summer grazing periods (1979-1981), several young Friesian cross heifers developed an increasingly severe upper respiratory syndrome which improved soon after the animals were housed. The major clinical signs during the third summer episode were: ocular and nasal discharge; ulceration of the nasal mucosa, which was swollen, causing obstruction of the nasal passages; and the presence of large numbers of small, hard, white nodules in the nasal vestibules. From these clinical and epidemiological findings, a diagnosis of atopic rhinitis was made.
