FUNGAL DISEASES
Foot Rot
A fungus common to filth is
responsible for foot rot. Animals
are most apt to contact foot rot
when forced to live in wet, muddy,
unsanitary lots for long periods of
time.
Skin near the hoof-line is red,
swollen, & often has small
lesions.
Maintaining clean, well-
drained lots is an easy
method of preventing foot
rot.
Calf Diphtheria
Lives in soil, litter, & unclean
stables& enters the body through
small scratches or wounds.
Difficulty breathing, eating,
and drinking. Patches of
yellowish, dead tissue
appear on the edges of the
tongue, gums, & throat.
Often, a nasal discharge
occurs.
The diseased tissue is
removed to expose healthy
tissue, which is treated by
swabbing it with tincture of
iodine.
