Description
Controlled trials of two autogenous vaccines, inactivated with formaldehyde, were conducted on 156 cows. One vaccine was prepared from Porphyromonas levii and Prevotella bivia, and the other from P. levii, Fusobacterium necrophorum and Bacteroides oralis. Both vaccines seemed to reduced the extent and severity of claw lesions, in comparison with cows inoculated with saline solution. There was no connection between digital and interdigital dermatitis
