Iodine for vegetable production and livestock breeding
Published in Tatsuo Kaiho, Iodine Made Simple, 2017
Foot rot is a communicable bacterial disease which affects the hooves of sheep. If just one sheep is infected, the whole flock will instantaneously be infected. To prevent the spread of foot rot, daily observation and prevention are essential, and when foot rot is discovered, immediate treatment is imperative. To prevent foot rot and its spread, regular hoof trimming (once every 2 months), disinfection by foot bath (a bath of copper sulfate or zinc sulfate solution once a week), a clean breeding environment, etc. are essential. In addition, antibiotic treatment and disinfection using sterilizers are also carried out.

In a recent study, new oxadiazole compounds 163 were synthesized which have improved activity and a broader efficacy against phytopathogenic fungi. The general formula of substituted oxadiazole compounds studied for controlling phytopathogenic fungi is represented in Figure 43. All synthetic oxadiazole compounds were tested against a variety of fungi Pyricularia oryzae/rice blast fungus, Botrytis cinerea/gray mold, Alternaria solani/early blight of tomato/potato, Fusarium culmorum/foot rot of cereals, and Parastagonospora nodorum/wheat pathogen. All active compounds gave a minimum of 70% control in these tests at 300 ppm when compared to the untreated samples, which showed extensive disease development [100].
Development of a Pain Scoring System for Use in Sheep Surgically Implanted with Ventricular Assist Devices

Previous publications describe the assessment of pain in ruminants resulting from lameness, foot rot, or surgical pain following castration or tail docking.4,6–13 The majority of these publications describe the assessment of ruminants housed in a farm environment. In our institution, sheep surgically implanted with cardiac assist devices are individually housed in modified stanchions that are designed to limit their overall mobility. Subsequently, assessing flock behavior, locomotion, and lameness in this setting is impractical.
