FUSOGARD®
Footrot is an infectious cattle disease that causes swelling and lameness in one or more feet. Although the disease is rarely fatal, the economic losses from treatment, as well as the decrease in weight gain and reduced production potential can be substantial.
Fusobacterium necrophorum, the bacteria that causes footrot, cannot penetrate healthy intact skin, but can take advantage of abrasions or puncture wounds in the interdigital skin or near the feet. Whether on pasture or in confinement, cattle constantly encounter risk factors such as stones, frozen or dried mud, stubble or wet pens that can damage the integrity of the skin in the interdigital space.
Fusogard® is the first F. necrophorum vaccine developed and manufactured specifically for cattle.
