Several years ago, I began learning about the benefits of copper as a supplement. I learned that it is actually a necessary mineral for goats, cows and sheep, and is best absorbed in sulphate form. What prompted the research was a case of foot rot in one of my goats. I was unaware that it was foot rot until someone diagnosed it for me over the phone. I had noticed that his foot had been swollen for a couple days, but didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that a bug might have bitten or stung him. After about three days from the time that I initially noticed the swelling he was limping badly. I mentioned this to a man who was interested in buying him, and he said that it might be foot rot. He said to check and see if it smelled bad, and that if so, it was probably foot rot. I checked, and sure enough there was a strong putrid smell to it. So I started researching a natural, and speedy, cure for foot rot online. There was very little information to be found
