Why aren antibiotics always effective when used in a footbath?
Antibiotics are quickly neutralized by the presence of mud and manure in the footbath. In large herds, the antibiotic solutions must changed often to provide results on a herdwide basis. One footbath is need for each 150-200 cows or the solution within t he footbath must be changed after each 150-200 cows have walked through it.
