While prevention through vaccination and biosecurity is the priority in the fight against foot and mouth disease (FMD), complimentary and non-competitive treatment through Tri-Solfen® motivates farmers to resolve pain and heal wounds. The Tri-Solfen® topical analgesia wound formulation is now commonly used in In Australia where its uses include applying Tri-Solfen® for mulesing procedures (80% of Australian farmers use Tri-Solfen® for this). In total 100 million animals have been treated so far.

In April 2019, The University of Sydney School of Veterinary Science used Tri-Solfen® to treat an outbreak of FMD in Mekong, Laos. 136 FMD affected cattle and buffalo were upset and reluctant to move. The disease was present in both vaccinated and unvaccinated buffalo and cattle, all showing the typical lesions of FMD: modertate to severe ulcerations of the gums, nasal tissue and interdigital areas of their feet. The local farmers keenly sought a ‘new medicine’.

Spraying Tri-Solfen® directly onto the oral and foot leisons led to visible improvement in the animals demeanour and movement, and rapid healing of the lesions which recovered within three to five days. The animals were able to eat within two days.

As a result of its success, the Laos veterinary authorities registered Tri-Solfen® as a treatment spray for FMD, and supplies have been delivered for use in future outbreaks.
