Foot Rot

[Guest guest]

Prabhus.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

One of the cows at our farm here, has a reccuring problem with an infected

hoof. The problem has been persisting for about 6 months. The vet comes to

attend to it but after sometime the foot again gets infected and worms

appear.

 

I looked up a treatment in my copy of 'The complete Herbal Handbook for Farm

and Stable'.

 

It reccomends using a poultice of linseed, and finaly annointing the foot

with 'Stockholm tar' and keeping it covered. Does anyone know how this tar

is made? It does not appear to be available in this country.

 

Also I would appreciate any other remedies for foot rot.

 

This is only occuring with one cow, so it may be due to a hoof problem, and

ideas on that?

 

Thanks prabhus

Your Servant
