Necrobacteriosis And Hoof Pathologies in High-Yielding Dairy Cattle Etiological Factors and Improvement of Diagnostic Approaches
Read Abstract
This study investigates the etiological factors, clinical features, and diagnostic approaches of necrobacteriosis and various hoof diseases in high-yielding dairy cattle. Pathological samples collected from farms located in different regions of Uzbekistan were subjected to comprehensive clinical, epizootiological, and bacteriological analyses.
The results identified Fusobacterium necrophorum as the principal causative agent of necrobacteriosis. In addition, the occurrence and distribution of the disease were found to be closely associated with housing conditions, zoohygienic management, feeding practices, and technological stress factors.
The findings highlight the multifactorial nature of necrobacteriosis and emphasize the importance of integrated diagnostic approaches for accurate disease identification and effective control in modern dairy farming systems.
