Features of purulent pododermatitis course in cattle
The article deals with the results of researches of many scientists concerning the pathogenesis of purulent pododermatitis in cattle. A considerable distribution of orthopedic diseases, in particular pododermatitis in highly productive cows, has been established. It is proved that untimely corrective cleansing of the hoof, and as a consequence of deformation, prolonged stall content, unsatisfactory zoo-hygienic conditions, in particular, the high content of ammonia in the air, moisture, nymphs on the floor, the imbalance of ration of feeds, the deficit in ration of nutrients and minerals, the absence of the mition and insolation, leads to a deterioration in the quality of the hoof, which is manifested by changes in biochemical and biophysical indices. This leads to aseptic pododermatitis, and penetration into the area of the sole of the microflora and microscopic fungi contributes to the purulent inflammation of the base of the skin of the hoof soles in the livestock. The theoretical substantiation and practical confirmation of the role of microscopic fungi in the pathogenesis of purulent pododermatitis in cattle, which is to destroy hoof keratin, which is due to the keratolytic properties of fungi. It has been scientifically proven that the identification of keratomycetes in the hoof horn is important in the diagnosis of purulent poddlermatitis in animals and influences the choice of directions for their successful treatment. It was established that the elimination of negative conditions of keeping, feeding, corrective cleansing, provision of animals for motion and insolation in combination with the application for therapeutic purposes of substances that possess not only anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, but also fungicidal properties contributes to the rapid recovery of orthopedic animals.
