Once a case has become ‘open’, the discharge of the causal organisms into the environment causes contamination of those areas in which the traffic of cattle is heaviest. The reduction of slurry is extremely important. Good drainage around drinking and feeding areas is important. The isolation of cows (or the use of a protective boot) during the early infectious stages of the disease is strongly recommended. Very early, adequate treatment is essential. | Once a case has become ‘open’, the discharge of the causal organisms into the environment causes contamination of those areas in which the traffic of cattle is heaviest.
