Shepherd’s Choice™ Management Tip
It is possible to clear up footrot in large flocks. It will be difficult and depending on how much rainfall you receive annually, it may be very difficult.- Separate your flock into affected and clean sheep. Keep the clean sheep free and work on the affected sheep. The best antibiotic to use is Zactran® given at labeled doses. Do not use “similar” antibiotics. It is expensive but will clear the infection.
- Trim the hooves on infected sheep. The infection is caused by two bacteria that are anaerobic, so trim the feet aggressively. If you are not hitting blood on 1 out of 3 feet you are not going deep enough.
- Periodic use of a formaldehyde foot bath (1 to 19 dilution) will help eliminate early infections and carriers. Use diluted solution in a walk-through foot bath every 4–6 weeks.

This is definitely a huge help with sheep’s foot scald and rot. We have heavy clay soil with lots of moisture and dewy grass which leads to foot scald and some cases of foot rot. I’ve used zinc sulfate and other treatments with some success, but formaldehyde knocks it out. You should definitely know how to use it properly and take precautions for yourself, because it will burn.

Great customer service!!! I bought 2 gallons to tan alligator hides. Customer service called and said I could get 3rd gallon for almost same price because of shipping cost. I really appreciate the call.
