摘要：
A system and method for treating hoof related diseases, particularly hairyheel warts (papillomatus digital dermatitis),includes an aqueous solution having a metal astringent at a therapeuticallyeffective concentration. The metal astringentincludes aluminum, iron, and mixtures thereof. In preferred embodiments, themetal may include a mixture of monomeric and polymericspecies. The polymeric species may be in the form of a polymeric concentrate,such as, for example, polyaluminum chlorideor polyferric sulfate. Alternatively, the polymeric species may be formed bypartially neutralizing a metal salt. The aqueous solutionof the metal astringent is applied to a lower leg and hoof area of an animalusing any known application technique, including, but notlimited to, foot baths, foams and spray applications. In preferredembodiments, the aqueous solution is applied using an automateddispensing system. The aqueous solution may include additional components,such as surfactants and thickeners, to enhance theperformance of the metal astringent or contribute additional functionality.
