Feeding management and a dry, clean environment contribute to keeping hooves healthy. Hoof baths prevent the spread of pathogens such as dermatitis digitalis (Mortellaro).

Thorough cleaning removes many of the pathogens from the cattle's environment. Long-lasting disinfection after cleaning removes the remaining pathogens safely and effectively.

Growing stocks, animal-friendly husbandry and statutory provisions set ever-higher requirements regarding hygiene in cattle fattening.
