Madison County Extension is hosting two one-hour “Live” via the internet sessions that (parts 1 and 2) will teach beginner and experienced sheep and goat producers the cause of footrot in sheep and goats, the conditions that promote the disease, how to prevent foot diseases with effective biosecurity, how to treat footrot, how to effectively trim hooves, and the specific protocol to eliminate the disease from farms. These sessions will also explain genetic markers that could identify sheep that are naturally resistant to the disease.
