Although chorioptic mange is common, its effects on cow welfare through behavioural and physiological indicators remain unclear. The effects of topical eprinomectin for chorioptic mange on behaviour and salivary cortisol concentrations, indicators of cow welfare, were examined. In Study 1, total lying time after treatment, a key indicator of improved comfort in cows, showed a significant increase of 35\u2009min. In Study 2, itching behaviour (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.05) and salivary cortisol concentrations (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    &lt; 0.01) both significantly decreased after topical eprinomectin.
