Abstract: There is disclosed a method of treating and preventing digital dermatitis in a herd of claw-bearing animals, in particular bovine digital dermatitis in a herd of cattle, comprising supplying zinc gluconate and copper gluconate to the feed of said herd in an amount between 35 to 500 mg zinc per kg dry feed per animal and between 5 and 40 mg copper per kg dry feed per animal and concomitantly treating any diagnosed digital dermatitis lesion in said herd of animals until the lesion is healed with a standard care topical treatment, in particular with a salicylic acid bandage topical treatment, continuing supplying zinc gluconate and copper gluconate to said herd and concomitantly treating any diagnosed lesion in said heard for at least 3 months, preferably for at least 6 months.

Abstract: A mixture and process for tempering feed grain by adding a natural surfactant in the form of a extract of the yucca plant to the grain. The yucca extract contains generally 10 to 11 percent sarsasaponin by weight which is diluted with water and sprayed on grain just prior to processing in rollers for flaking to increase water intake and gelatinization. The mixture also contains small amounts of copper sulfate and sodium benzoate as preservatives. Combinations of the mixture can also be used such as combinations with other known grain tempering compositions. The grain tempering yucca extract mixture is either sprayed on the grain as it is dumped into a steam cabinet or is sprayed on the grain which is then allowed to sit in a conditioning tank for a predetermined period of time.
