Even though hooves are a small part of cows overall body masses they can cause major health problems if infected. It is very important to keep the hooves of dairy cows healthy. If a cow gets Hairy Heel Warts or Foot Rot then the cow can have a rapid loss of milk production and could possibly go lame.
Not only do you have an unhealthy cow, but you are also loosing profits every day the cow is not producing milk. A preventative step that can be taken is to use one of Sanco Industries copper sulfate based hoof treatment products. There are several products Sanco offers to choose from:
The most popular for Dairy farmers is the Hoof Plex Concentrate that comes in a gallon jug. This gallon jug is equivalent to using a fifty pound bag of copper sulfate in a foot bath and only a fraction of the cost. For more information on Sanco’s hoof treatment products contact our helpful staff.
