[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1846367, member: 12607"] Studies done 30 years ago with colostrum-deprived foals showed that more 'joint-ill' cases resulted from bacteria entering through the soft, rubbery soles of neonatal hooves than through the umbilicus. Researchers recommended dipping/spraying hooves as an aid in diminishing issues. After seeing that presentation, we began to spray navels and feet on all calves or foals that we attended delivery on. If you're doing the navel, it doesn't take but a few seconds more to do the feet. [/QUOTE]
