Only bulls are usually treated.

Only bulls are usually treated. However, known carriers are usually culled.

Treatments of choice which are proven to be effective in vivo are '''acriflavine ointment''' applied topically to the glans penis, shaft and prepuce and '''nitromidazole''' compound given orally or topically in solution.  

Treatment may be given topically such as with '''acriflavine ointment''' applied topically to the glans penis, shaft and prepuce with or without '''imidazole''' compounds in the solution. However, topical treatment has obvious practical difficulties. Imidazoles (e.g. metranidazole) may also be given orally or intravenously which is more effective and easier to administer. However, note that imidazoles are illegal in food animals in some countries, including the UK, and that precautions should be taken when applying acriflavine due to its staining and irritant nature.
