[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 575519, member: 1715"] Lots of recommendations to increase iodine and/or zinc in the previous boards. I used to have a lot of foot problems (only about 1% per year now) so I have did some research in the past. This is what I have in my file: 1) Rumun ph (feed) is a root cause (Stockman Grass Farmer, page 10, 12/2007), I have been able to feed my way out of certain health problems so I agree with feed being the major factor for certain classes of cattle. I have seen stressed cattle that are not fed right come down with a lot of foot rot or pink eye problems. 2) Zinc reduced incident from 5.38% to 2.45% (Stocker Facts, page 4, KSU study) CTC benefits were quoted in the same article. I have seem similar numbers for iodine but I do not have a reference. I add organic iodine to medium priced mineral w/o CTC. 3) Foot rot vaccine, I did not want to go there but it is available. 4) Better footing, about half of the cases I see now have had an obvious pasture injury.
