Testing of therapeutic and hygienic agents in prevention and treatment of diseases of cow hooves

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to test medical and hygienic agents for prevention and therapy of diseases of cow hooves. The objects of research were five groups of black-and-white cows of ten heads each with various forms of lesions with digital dermatitis. Animals of the 1st experimental group were passed through disinfection bath with 10% aqueous solution of CuSO4 twice a week, in the treatment of finger dermatitis of cows of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th experimental groups, respectively, therapeutic and hygienic means Solka, Espuarol-Gel and Espuarol-Sin were used.The hematological indices of cows of the 3rd experimental group against the background of the use of Espuarol-Gel entered physiological norms earlier than those of their peers of the 2nd and 4th experimental groups, in the treatment of hoof diseases of which they used Solka and Espuarol-Sin. Espuarol-Gel tested in leading cattle-breeding enterprises of the Chuvash Republic and the Republic of Tatarstan has a more pronounced therapeutic effect, providing a bactericidal effect on pathogens of cow hoofs, expressed in a decrease in the total group assessment of limb condition by 8.9%, the total claudication score by 13.7 %, and the total diameter of lesions by 4.1%, rather than Espuarol-Sin.
