Description
In herds of diary cows and fattening cattle digital dermatitis is a widespread disease, Its etiology is probably due to infectious processes. Antibacterial chemotherapy often has no fundamental influence on the problem. Based on exact differentiation diagnostics and surveys about the occurrence of the disease in herds of dairy cows, first experiences gained with the use of herd specific vaccines and possible prospects for the vaccination are shown by the following article.
