Description
Clinical examination of 8473 adult animals (3413 Friesian cattle, 1500 native cattle, 1710 buffaloes, 1000 sheep and 850 goats) identified 376 animals with foot problems (215 Friesian cattle, 42 buffaloes, 25 sheep, 28 goats and 36 native cattle). 198 cases of claw conditions representing different lesions in different animals were examined. The majority of cases were interdigital necrobacillosis, pododermatitis circumscripta septica (cattle), heel erosions and under running (cattle and buffaloes), tenosynovitis (cattle and buffaloes), distal interphalangeal arthritis (cattle and sheep),and inflammation of the interdigital sinus (sheep). The isolated micro-organisms were Fusobacterium necrophorum, Bacteroides melaninogenicus, Dichelobacter nodosus, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Saprolegnia anthracoides, Staphylococcus aureus, S. citreus, S. albus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Mucor sp., Candida sp., Penicillium sp., Rhizopus sp. and Aspergillus sp. Antibiotic sensitivity was determined and the feet conditions were treated with the appropriate antibiotics and preventative measures
