Withdraw toxic feed or water immediately and replace them with a safe feed or water. Cull non -responsive cases, or those with infertility or low yield due to lameness. If a genetic link is suspected, consider culling of affected breeding stock, even mild cases. A quick way to check if mineral deficiency is involved is to give a good mineral supplement high in P and trace-elements. If the animals do not show a good response within 3-6 weeks, the cause is unlikely to be due to mineral deficiency.
Extra minerals are unlikely to improve lameness in marginal deficiency .
Instead, we use calcium iodate, or potassium iodide as oral supplements.
