English 
Footrot is a common yet preventable infectious hoof disease that affects sheep, cattle and other livestock. It is a significant cause of infectious lameness in farm animals and can be a costly, time-consuming task for farmers to deal with.
An effective way to prevent this disease is to regularly use footbaths submerged in a disinfectant solution. Livestock should stand in the footbath for about twenty minutes to allow enough time for the disinfectant to act on the hooves. When regularly cleaned using this method, livestock are less likely to spread the disease to other shared areas such as barns or farm pastures.
With increasing concerns around antibiotic resistance across the globe, it’s good practice to use footbaths to prevent bacterial infection spreading, which in turns keeps antibiotic consumption low among livestock.
Paxton’s range of footbaths
Paxton Agricultural offers a range of specialist footbaths that clean and protect livestock. Available in various sizes and capacities, the footbaths are tough, one-piece moulds that have an anti-slip base for the safe, quick application of footrot treatments.
The washing action of the footbaths removes damaging materials from hooves and helps prevent a build-up of dirt and manure in the space between a hoof, which often harbours harmful bacteria.
