I was reading a health article today (yes I know you cannot compare cattle to people) but, they were talking about cracked hands and said if you used the diaper rash creme (has zinc oxide in it) it would clear up cracked, chaffed hands............ and I'm wondering if zinc perhaps would help on foot rot.
Many cow minerals aren't high in zinc and supposedly many areas in the USA are deficient in zinc........ has anyone tried increasing zinc and noticed a decrease in foot rot???
Of course I guess it would also depend if zinc was cheaper than iodine????
