Footbathing is an essential part of digital dermatitis control but it is often not carried out effectively. Its role is not only to prevent new infections but also the recurrence of dormant lesions. Any break in footbathing can allow DD a chance to flare up again , however it is often the first task to fall by the wayside under time pressure. The Hoofcount Excel bath takes all of the hassle out of footbathing due to the automatic emptying and refilling system, whilst the extra long design of the bath is crucial to ensure that each foot receives sufficient numbers of ‘dunks’ in the solution. With footbathing such a key component of DD control, the Hoofcount Excel provides a reliable and effective option.
