Disease Alert
Digital Dermatitis
Housing can be a difficult time to keep cows feet clean, and increased exposure to slurry can be a significant risk factor for Digital dermatitis, an increasingly common cause of lameness. As lambing time approaches, it’s also a good time to get organised and review standard operating procedures with seasonal staff. In this webinar James Aitken, of Orchard Veterinary Group in Glastonbury, discusses these two important topics and how best manage them.
