Bovine digital dermatitis remains a widespread endemic disease of dairy cattle worldwide. Footbathing is commonly used as a control measure and has significant economic and environmental impacts. Few studies document footbathing practices on dairy farms or evaluate their suitability for achieving foot disinfection.

The objective of this study was to determine whether a novel footbath solution containing stannous fluoride (SnF) was superior to 5% copper sulfate solution for the treatment and prevention of digital dermatitis (DD) in dairy cattle. Study 1 was conducted over 4 wk in Missouri and involved 34 lactating Holstein-Friesian cows with hind feet DD lesions. Cows in group SF walked through a footbath containing a proprietary formulation of SnF once weekly, whereas cows in group CS walked through a 5% CuSO footbath once daily for 5 d each week.

Article Synopsis
- Digital dermatitis (DD) is a prevalent and painful skin infection in dairy cattle, with estimates showing 20-25% prevalence in the Netherlands, affecting mainly the hind legs.
- In a study of 6766 cows across 88 farms, risk factors for various DD stages were assessed, identifying that 38.6% of examined legs showed signs of DD, with the M4 stage being the most common.
- Key findings suggested that poor manure management, older cow age, lack of rubber flooring, and specific footbath treatments significantly influenced the likelihood of developing more severe stages of DD.

Our objective was to assess potassium monopersulfate as a disinfectant used in footbath to control digital dermatitis (DD) in dairy cows. We hypothesized that a potassium monopersulfate solution would control DD. A 180-day randomized negative controlled trial was conducted in a 265-Holstein free-stall facility.
