通常认为青年牛携带蹄趾皮炎致病菌,并在产犊后发病。通过预防青年牛罹患蹄趾皮炎,预测会有效预防泌乳期感染蹄趾皮炎(包括慢性趾间皮炎)。
由于在实际生产中,青年牛通常不会进行蹄浴,因此需要相应的替代解决方案。应用低压喷雾器或全自动喷头喷施Intra Hoof-fit Spray,相比于蹄浴不仅操作简单、方便可行,同时也有显著的效果。Intra Hoof-fit Spray 是一种无须稀释的对肢蹄进行点状喷洒的护蹄液,其强效附着力可保证其长时间作用于蹄趾或病灶(超过9小时)并发挥作用,并减少流在地板或粪尿中的浪费(Roijackers et al., 2019)。
用Intra Hoof-fit Spray 进行每周预防,能够为您的牧场带来双重回报:减少青年牛蹄病问题、延长泌乳牛泌乳寿命。
