Abstract
Although it cannot be regarded as a disease of serious economic importance, footrot in cattle may at times become a source of considerable loss to individual dairy farmers. The occurrence of the disease is usually confined to a small number of isolated cases which may make their appearance in the herd during the course of the season, but sometimes it assumes what has been described as a contagious form in which a large number of animals may become affected in rapid succession.
