Etiology and treatment of bovine laminitis

Cattle breeding is a relatively mature breeding industry in China, and it has been raised in all parts of our country. However, when raising cattle, there are often some problems affecting the growth of cattle, and hoof leaf inflammation is one of them. It usually occurs on the inside of the forelimb and the outside of the hindlimb, making it very difficult for cattle to move. So what is the cause of bovine hoof leaf inflammation? And how to treat it? The following editor will give you a brief introduction, let's have a look!

1. Etiology

1. Nutritional elements

When feeding cattle, if the soil is replaced with feed, or if the concentrate is fed too much, it will lead to problems such as rumen acidosis. The rumen fermentation of cattle is impressioned by the concept unit, which produces a lot of substances such as histamine. Then it has an effect on the capillaries on the hoof tissue, resulting in inflammation, leading to the occurrence of hoof leaf inflammation.

2. Management factors

The environment of the barn is also the main factor leading to cow hoof leaf inflammation, especially the quality of the barn floor, such as bedding grass, hygiene and so on. If the hygiene is too poor, the hoof is stimulated and so on. If you transport for a long time and walk on a gravel road, the hoof will be mechanically damaged, resulting in hoof inflammation. Then there is the cause of the disease, especially in cows, when there are diseases such as endometritis and placenta retention, it will affect the protein decomposition in cattle. Thus absorb too many substances that cause inflammation, such as histamine and so on.

II. Treatment

Nutrition management

First of all, we definitely need to do a good job in nutrition management, reasonable preparation of dietary nutrition proportion, group feeding. It is necessary to ensure that the proportion of fine feeding and coarse feeding is appropriate, and regulate the content of nutrients such as calcium and phosphorus. Then we should pay attention to keep the PH value in the rumen around 6.3-6.4. Buffer can be added appropriately. Then it is necessary to do a good job in the management of the barn, clean up the feces regularly and keep the barn in a quiet and dry environment. And also do a good job in the hygienic management of the barn to reduce the reproduction of bacteria and avoid the occurrence of hoof disease. And the cow bed should be covered with sufficient and clean bedding, and the cow should have more than 4 hours of rest every day.

Hoof management

After the occurrence of hoof inflammation, the hoof cleaning work should be carried out in time. Clean up the dirt on the hoof and trim it. Expose the lesion and clean up the necrotic tissue. Then use iodine tincture, furacilin powder and anti-inflammatory powder to put on the diseased hoof, then apply fish fat externally, and wrap the diseased hoof with bandage. If suppuration occurs, remove all the pus first, and then rinse with hydrogen peroxide. Change the medicine once in about three days, and you can recover in about three times.

The above is a brief introduction to the etiology and treatment of bovine hoof leaf inflammation. In addition to the above treatment measures, we also need to spray and bathe the hoof regularly and trim the hoof regularly. After the onset of the disease, it is primary or secondary, and then make corresponding measures. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
