Description
The effects of 2 different schemes of treatment were compared on 2 dairy farms, on which about 18% of the total of 1250 cows and heifers showed foot lesions. Following excision of affected tissue, 110 animals on one farm were treated with an oxytetracycline/corticosteroid spray, (Bioxiteracor) followed by application of ether iodoformate and a zinc ointment (Jecozinc). The 114 animals on the other farm were treated with an erythromycin/sulfathiazole preparation (Ericaden) with an anti-inflammatory agent and calcium, followed by the zinc ointment. The percentage of healing was 75% higher with the first scheme
