− | feedback1="'''Correct!''' Pizzle rot, otherwise known as ulcerative balanoposthitis is seen as ulceration around the prepucial orifice with a brown crust, particularly in Merino sheeep and Angora goats. High urine urea levels from high protein intake may predispose to the condition and castration and heavy wool around the prepuce are risk factors, but the actual causal agent is Corynebacterium renale. The bacteria hydrolyses urea to ammonia which then causes mucosal irritation and ulceration. [[Corynebacterium species|WikiVet Article: Corynebacterium.]]" | + | feedback1="'''Correct!'''
