Manage Hoof Rot and Scald

4
  1. Solution: Keep goat living areas clean and dry, trim hooves regularly, and treat affected feet promptly with foot baths or topical treatments.
  2. Explanation: Hoof rot and scald are bacterial infections favored by wet, muddy conditions. Regular trimming exposes tissues to air and removes areas where infection can hide. Keeping bedding and lots dry reduces exposure.
  3. Notes: Common treatments include zinc sulfate or copper sulfate foot baths or topical sprays. Separate affected animals to prevent spread.
