Solka HoofGel & Solka HoofClear

Prevention of Digital Dermatitis:

Digital dermatitis starts as round or oval sores and usually occurs between the bulbs of the heels. As infection progresses, the lesions increase in size and become raised, the skin surrounding the lesions becomes inflamed, and the entire area is painful to the touch. In some cases the cow will respond by simply taking weight off the affected foot. Most cases, however, result in lameness. Affected cattle begin to lose weight, and a marked decrease in milk production in dairy cattle occurs. Some cases become so severe that humane destruction is necessary.

Keys to preventing Digital Dermatitis

• Practice good hygiene.
• Eliminate mud and standing water.
• Keep the feet dry.
• Quarantine new animals.
• Minimize stress in the herd.
• Keep hooves trimmed.
• Treat lameness immediately.

The active ingredients involving effective enzymes and specific trace elements kill the infection and the sticky consistency of Solka Gel protects the hooves from wetness and mud so that the treatment can work for longer. 50 dose tub
