NOTE

Risk Factors and Identification of Digital Dermatitis in Cattle

Risk factors for digital dermatitis in cattle may be similar to those for foot rot and other causes of lameness. Buying more animals than others might not necessarily increase the likelihood of getting digital dermatitis. Intact skin can fight off bacteria, but different environments and increased animal movements can contribute to the risk. Identifying digital dermatitis involves observing ulcerative lesions resembling a strawberry, different from typical foot rot. Animals with digital dermatitis often shift weight to the toe due to pain at the ball of the foot. It is important to lift the foot and properly diagnose digital dermatitis to ensure appropriate treatment.
