Digital Dermatitis with Dr. Karin Orsel
The Beef Cattle Health and Nutrition Podcast
Comprehensive Treatment Methods for Digital Dermatitis in Cattle
The best treatment for digital dermatitis in cattle is topical treatment with products containing disinfecting agents like copper or zinc. Injections with antibiotics are not effective as the lesion sits in the skin, making topical application necessary. For dairy herds, applying topical treatment during milking parlors can be effective. An alternative is using sprays with extended nozzles to avoid lifting the foot. Wrapping the lesion for a few days can help with long-term treatment, but the wrap needs to be removed periodically. Treating the whole group of animals can be done through foot baths with disinfecting products like copper sulfate, but placing and using foot baths correctly is crucial for effectiveness. It's a complex process but beneficial in managing digital dermatitis in cattle, especially when lifting individual feet is not practical.
