Poor hooves can be caused by a zinc and copper deficiency. Also check for foot rot and treat if needed.

You can give oxytet (LA 200) at 1 cc per 30 pounds by SQ injection once a day every other day for 3 treatments.

Kopertox or a strong bleach solution (2-3 tablespoons per pint of water) or iodine can be used on the hooves.
