Description
A total of 1695 Zebu males reared on pasture in the State of Rio de Janeiro were studied. Interdigital dermatitis was found in 7 animals, interdigital hyperplasia in 4, digital dermatitis in 2 animals and horn erosion and proliferative osteoperiostitis in 1 animal each. Since only 15 animals (0.88%) were affected it was concluded that foot disease is not a significant problem in pastured Zebu cattle
