At various times and places, adding H2O2 commonly called hydrogen peroxide (properly measured) to their drinking water can bring substantial relief.

Thanks Tim, but what is the dosage, If you recommend H202, then lugols solution and/or Colloidal Silver should work. But I have to test and see the result. Good Health

Ed: Ed Mcabe recommends 1oz 3% hydrogen peroxide per 1qrt water (sorry no metrics here) in "small animals" but doesn't give recommendation for livestock; so the above figure would be a good start.

In human use you may have seen the figures here on e.c. 2 drops 35% H2O2 per 4oz water and increase one drop per day.

I mentioned the H2O2 over Iodine or colloidal silver as the most convenient, economical method. If one could generate, say, a gallon of high ppm c.s. and rotate w/ hydrogen peroxide that might prove the most powerful method. Mixing H2O2 and c.s. together requires some careful chemistry (as in Leonard Harowitz's "Oxysilver" product).

Normally, the dosage of dairy is 10 times of Human.

When compared to Lugols, CS, h202 . H202 is the cheapest. Even more Borax is more cheaper. But I am not sure about its efficacy on viral infection.

There is a sudden onset of Foot and Mouth Disease in Cattles in some regions of South India now. So I posted this question. Very long time ago, when our family was having Dairy Farm. We used to spray Phenyl on the Foot. Spray Neem Oil, and apply camphor powder on the foot.

Good Health.
