"We have seen a significant reduction of hairy heel warts in our herd since starting on TriFusion, and I like that our copper sulfate usage has been cut in half. Our hoof trimmer and I have both been very satisfied with the results. Plus, with the PediCuRx footbath automation, I can customize our footbaths to dispense only as I want them to. I don't have to worry about whether my workers are maintaining the baths, in fact, it eliminates the extra labor."

“IncorporatingTriFusion into our footbath program has allowed us to maintain the stability of foot health in the herd.The automated bath has allowed us to do a better job of cleaning the bath and keeping treatment chemicals effective. We are also very pleased to be minimizing the amount of copper sulfate in the waste system."

"I have a client with 650 cows, who installed a fully-computerized, automatic footbath manufactured by WestfaliaSurge more than a year ago (PediCuRx). They are very pleased with the results and I see lower-than-average levels of lameness. Although the initial investment is rather high, the producer feels it is worth it. The automatic feature requires little labor therefore it is consistently used. They run it three to four times per week depending on conditions. The solutions are premixed and changed every 200 cows. Cows never balk when passing through because they walk through the bath after every milking, even when not in use. It is a pleasure to go to this farm. My work is so much easier and the hoof health is very good."

“I have recently started dairying in a new WestfaliaSurge parlor with high producing cows purchased from another herd. I was not aware of the foot warts until the heat and summer humidity got so bad. Then it seemed like over half of the herd came down with lameness. I started PediCuRx Complete in the maintenance bath and washing the feet in the parlor. This seems to be getting the problem resolved plus regular trimming. So far, I like the ease of application and the reduction of foot warts."

“We have used PediCuRx Complete topically for six months. Success in limiting infection and reducing lesions has been a major accomplishment. We get the feet clean before we apply PediCuRx Complete, and do it all several days in a row, watching for incoming fresh cows with lameness. This program works well for our dairy."

“PediCuRx Complete has made a difference in the cows moving on concrete and pasture. Less lame cows and less stress are two observations that were noticed. Milk production is stable plus the cows are used to walking thru the footbath on the weekly rotation schedule. It is easy to usewithout having tomix the chemicals ourselves. It has alsomade a difference on fresh cows getting the treatments right after freshening.”

“Thanks to the PediCuRx system, the hoof condition of my herd is the best we have had in five years, due to the success of TriFusion. There’s fewer wraps, fewer unmanageable foot issues and fewer cull cows due to foot infections in the past year since we started the program. The price is competitive due to the fact that I’m cutting my copper sulfate usage in half. The product does what it says it would do - manage the foot care in my herd.”
