Footrot was first recorded in South Australia in the annual report of the Chief Inspector of Sheep (C.J. Valentine) for the year ended 31st December 1875. He reported:
Footrot has shown itself in some parts of the country. Passing the sheep through a strong solution of arsenic in troughs where tried has been successful in reducing the disease. Carbolic acid is recommended, and has been tried in other colonies, many persons preferring it as being less dangerous than arsenic.
The next reference appears in 1891 when it is stated to have been serious in the western part of the Central District. In 1892 he stated, ‘but I am afraid that the steps taken have not been thorough enough to eradicate the disease. It is a complaint which entails much labour and careful attention’.
In 1893, reference is made to careful paring and dressing of the feet and the use of strong bluestone mixture, 1 oz. to the gallon of water.
The disease was referred to at the Conference of Chief Inspectors of Stock in Sydney in November 1874, and again in November 1889.
Although footrot continued to be discussed there was little really worthwhile advice that could be offered to sheep owners before the publication of the work of Beveridge and Gregory between 1934 and 1941. These workers had shown that there was more than one foot condition of sheep and that in one type at least, there was a specific organism involved. The foot lesions were separated into these three main groups:
1. Contagious footrot due to the specific organism, Fusiformis nodosus, and with which other organisms appeared to be associated.
2. Foot abscess due to a variety of soil and bowel organisms including Fusiformis necrophorus.
3. A number of foot lesions of lesser importance.
