[QUOTE="bball, post: 1600017, member: 23752"] Had my first cases of it here this year as well. LA 300 did the trick quick along with cleaning the injured area and applying koppertox. Read several opinions on the vaccine and most lean towards it being ineffective. I also keep out quality mineral with CTC. The bacteria that causes footrot is ubiquitous and the cows natural defense is usually enough to protect it from infection. However, in very wet conditions, the bacteria is highly present along with a softening or weakening of the tissue between the 2 clefts of the hooves. Once this weakened tissue is injured(via a rock, stubble, abrasion, etc) the opportunistic bacteria enters and the infection begins. Basically, you must have an opening or injury for the infection to occur. Preventing that opening is our best chance at defense. Move to dry ground with less risk for injury( i.e., no rocks, sticks, twigs, trash, thorns, briars, etc). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
