Abstract
Germicidal compositions and methods of using the same in the prevention and treatment of various hoof diseases are provided. The germicidal compositions generally comprise formic acid, at least one C2-C10 carboxylic acid, and one or more anionic surfactants, such as an α-olefin sulfonate. The germicidal compositions may be applied topically to the hooves of an animal through various means including the use of footbaths.
