Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection seen in animals. Although gastrointestinal involvement is more common in cattle, pulmonary mucormycosis is rarely reported. This study describes a case in Red Sindhi cattle from Tamil Nadu presenting with respiratory distress and anorexia. Post-mortem examination revealed pneumonia. Tracheal and lung swabs cultured on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar and stained with Lactophenol Cotton Blue confirmed the presence of Mucor species. This case underscores the need to include mucormycosis in differential diagnoses of bovine respiratory illness and highlights the role of culture and microscopy in confirming fungal etiology.
