How can I prevent founder (laminitis) in my cattle?

Last Updated: October 14, 2008

In order to prevent laminitis do not feed excessive amounts of grain to your cattle. Never feed on 1 day enough grain for 2-3 days. Also, do not allow cattle access to free-choice grain. This might include assuring that all gates and doors that guard/house stored grain are in good repair.
