Repairs for Improved Hygiene

Repair pot holes

  • Pot holes collect slurry and dirty water which could contain organisms such as the one causing digital dermatitis. They also make scraping much more difficult.

Improve drainage where slurry or dirty water pools

  • Pools of dirty water in yards provide the ideal environment for the organisms which cause digital dermatitis and other infectious diseases.
