The study was conducted on three cows and one Murrah buffalo presented with history of variable shaped hard growths on maxillary and mandibular region and difficulty in mastication. Physiological and hematological examination revealed all parameters were within normal range except absolute neutrophilia. Radiographical examination revealed hard tissue growth with calcification on mandible or maxillae region. On basis of clinical, radiographic and histopathological examination, lumpy jaw condition was confirmed. Potassium iodide and Streptopenicillin was given and found effective in small sized growth. In conclusion, treatment at early stage of lumpy jaw is effective but in advanced cases prognosis is guarded.
