“…The lambs were subsequently locomotion scored and observed for ID, SFR and CODD lesions two, nine, 23 and 37 days after the final treatment, and the cure rate at each follow-up visit was calculated as the proportion of feet recorded as affected at the study onset that were no longer affected at the given time point. 17 Since the lambs had been preselected based on lameness identified by the farmer, the prevalence of lameness in the population was initially high (66.7 per cent), with 66 of the 75 lambs affected by ID, 47 affected by SFR and 16 affected by CODD. Cure rates in the footbathing and antibiotic groups were 96.2 per cent and 97.0 per cent for ID, 100 per cent and 95.0 per cent for SFR, 90.1 per cent and 83.3 per cent for CODD and 50.0 per cent and 59.0 per cent for lameness, respectively, two days after the final treatment.…”
