Spring is coming, and the rain is gradually increasing. For cattle and sheep farmers, the rainy season is a very "troublesome season", once the weather often rains, not only will it affect the grazing, but also easy to breed a variety of germs, so that the probability of cattle and sheep disease is greatly improved. Therefore, cattle and sheep farmers do not welcome the arrival of the rainy season.
However, the laws of nature are difficult to change, and the rainy season is bound to come when it comes. However, as long as cattle and sheep farmers do a good job in various prevention work, the probability of cattle and sheep suffering from various diseases will not be much higher than in winter. However, there is a disease that cattle and sheep suffer from together, which is difficult to prevent, so it will cause many troubles to many cattle and sheep farmers.
This disease that cattle and sheep suffer from and is difficult to prevent is hoof rot disease, the scientific name is called hoof rot disease. Once cattle and sheep suffer from hoof rot disease, they will like to crawl and lie down, suffer from discomfort when standing, or alternate weight bearing of each limb and limp when walking. The skin between the hooves and crowns of cattle and sheep is congested, red and swollen, festering between the hooves, there is a foul odor secretion oozing out, and some cattle and sheep will have bad granulation between the hooves. At the same time, the body temperature of cattle and sheep will rise, and the appetite will be seriously reduced, and finally affect the weight gain of cattle and sheep.
According to experienced cattle and sheep farmers, cattle and sheep hoof rot disease is related to two factors. One factor is due to excessive humidity in cattle pens and sheep barns, and the long-term maceration of the hooves by feces and urine, resulting in the infection of necrotic bacteria in the hooves of cattle and sheep; the other factor is caused by the hooves of cattle and sheep being sealed by dirt after being punctured by gravel blocks, foreign stubble tips, etc., forming a hypoxic condition. But in any case, once the cattle and sheep suffer from hoof rot disease, it is a rather troublesome thing.
According to veterinarians, cattle and sheep hoof rot disease is also contagious, once a cow or a sheep suffers from hoof rot disease, it needs isolation treatment, otherwise, other healthy cattle and sheep may also be infected with this disease.
According to the conventional treatment method, when it is found that cattle and sheep suffer from hoof rot disease, it is necessary to repeatedly rinse the affected part with 1000 times the new Jieer solution, then trim the hoof, completely remove necrotic tissue and pus dirt, and then rinse repeatedly with 3% carbonated solution, wipe dry, and finally do various treatments. The procedure is not only troublesome, but also the treatment effect is not very good. In this case, several cattle and sheep farmers in Shaanxi have repeatedly explored the method of treating cattle and sheep hoof rot disease, and after exploration and experimentation, they have found a very simple soil method, which can reach 100% effective rate for the treatment of cattle and sheep hoof rot disease, which can be described as "one cure".
Its specific treatment is as follows:
First use 5% odor potion or 1% potassium permanganate liquid to thoroughly clean the necrotic parts of cattle and sheep's hooves, and then use disinfectant shears to cut off the wool in the hoof rim and hoof fork to further remove the rotten muscles and hoof shells, and after disinfection with 75% alcohol cotton balls, you can use grass and wood ash plus waste oil to adjust the affected area in a one-to-one ratio and apply it to the affected area. Of course, after applying grass and wood ash and waste motor oil, it is also necessary to use cotton cloth to bandage the hoof fork, hoof edge and hoof bottom.
In general, as long as the treatment is carried out according to this method, the cattle and sheep can be herded in the mountains after 3 to 7 days. This treatment method has the characteristics of rapid effect and high cure rate. Cattle and sheep farmers may wish to give cattle and sheep suffering from hoof rot disease a try.
