Hoof bath
Cattle footbaths are used to control infectious diseases spreading in the environment.
The bath is used to harden the hoof horn and disinfect it, depending on the type of chemical used in the hoof bath.
HOW OFTEN TO USE THE BATH
It is very important for dairy farmers to keep disease records to determine the frequency of bath use. Knowing the frequency of bath use and the infectious disease rate, it is possible to assess the effectiveness of the use program.
The dirtier the animals' lower parts, the higher the frequency of bath use. In dairy farms with excellent cow hygiene scores, a footbath may be used once a week. In other households, bath use may vary from 3 to 7 times a week.
