Prevention of limb diseases in cattle

Abstract

Violating technological processes, boundaries with feeding, zoohygienic standards, and veterinary and sanitary rules for keeping animals are possible reasons for developing diseases in cattle. The study aimed to study the effect of the zoogenic drug “Hoof Cleaning Concentrate” as a filler in foot baths while maintaining the impact of the distal limbs of cattle. When studying the national zoohygienic drug “Concentrate for Cleaning the Hoof” on clinical signs of damage to the distal limbs of the experimental livestock, it was found that the use of a 2.5% solution of the zoohygienic drug “Concentrate for Cleaning the Hoof” reduces the cost of veterinary activities by 18.4%, in the sense of using a 1.5% solution. To prevent the distal extremities, a 2.5% solution of the zoohygienic preparation “Concentrate for cleaning the hoof” should be used for ten days, which reduces the incidence and severity of the disease of the extremities in animals. The economic damage from a decrease in productivity when exposed to symptoms characteristic of pododermatitis was 50.0% less in the 2nd experimental group than in the 1st and 66.6% less compared to the control group.
