Fusogard®
Footrot is an infectious disease that causes swelling and lameness in one or more feet. The bacteria that causes footrot (Fusobacterium necrophorum) cannot penetrate healthy intact skin, but can take advantage of abrasions or puncture wounds in or near the feet. Whether on pasture or in confinement, cattle constantly encounter risk factors such as stones, frozen or dried mud, stubble or wet pens that can cause or worsen an abrasion or wound. Fusogard is cost-effective, both in preventing the economic losses that come with footrot and lameness, and in eliminating the use of costly antibiotics to treat footrot. The same bacterium (F. necrophorum) responsible for footrot is also the main cause of liver abscesses in beef cattle. Liver abscesses are costly to cattle producers due to condemned livers and reduced weight gain.
