Prevention is accomplished by combinations of some, but not all, of the following recommendations:
--Remove factors that cause interdigital trauma.
--Do not allow cattle to stay in wet areas for extended periods of time.
--Remove cattle from stubble fields when signs of foot rot appear as sharpness of the residue irritates the hoof.
--Correct trace mineral deficiencies, especially copper and zinc.
