The lifecycle of ''Chorioptes bovis'' mites takes '''3 weeks'''. The females lay their eggs on the skin surface around the edge of a skin lesion. The eggs hatch and the larvae pass through two nymphal stages before developing into adults. Eggs are found attached to the surface of the skin.

The mites live at the base of the host's hair and feed on skin debris. They cause irritation by feeding, which leads to the animal rubbing itself and creating lesions.  

The mites live at the base of the host's hair and feed on skin debris. They cause irritation by feeding, which leads to the animal rubbing itself and creating lesions. Adults can survive off the ground for around three weeks, meaning transmission can be via bedding and housing as well as by direct contact.
