“…Depending on the circumstances, an X-ray can be taken to better reveal treatment options. The area should be bandaged (protected from moisture) after drainage to keep the hoof dry for at least 24, and preferably 72, hours [ 84 , 85 ].…”

“…Since lameness causes pain in cows, one of the necessary therapeutic measures is to alleviate pain symptoms. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) has been shown to be an effective way to relieve pain beyond corrective clipping and claw blocking [ 85 ]. For example, administration of ketoprofen for three days, from 24 to 36 h after calving in dairy cows, reduced the risk of lameness.…”

“…A constant rumen pH must be maintained as well. Therefore, the size of feed particles in diets such as TMR should enable chewing of the food to produce saliva, which also prevents acidosis by buffering acids in the rumen [ 85 ].…”

“…Genetic methods also play an important role in reducing the incidence of lameness in cattle. For example, selective breeding of animals focused on conformational features such as a larger foot angle, the position of the pelvic limbs, the width of the body, and the shape of the udder, can significantly reduce the incidence of chronic lameness in cows [ 85 , 101 ].…”

The aim of this review was to analyse the health problem of lameness in dairy cows by assessing the health and economic losses. This review also presents in detail the etiopathogenesis of lameness in dairy cattle and examples of its treatment and prevention. This work is based on a review of available publications. In selecting articles for the manuscript, the authors focused on issues observed in cattle herds during their clinical work. Lameness in dairy cattle is a serious health and economic problem around the world. Production losses result from reduced milk yield, reduced feed intake, reproductive disorders, treatment costs, and costs associated with early culling. A significant difficulty in the control and treatment of lameness is the multifactorial nature of the disease; causes may be individual or species-specific and may be associated with the environment, nutrition, or the presence of concomitant diseases. An important role is ascribed to infectious agents of both systemic and local infections, which can cause problems with movement in animals. It is also worth noting the long treatment process, which can last up to several months, thus significantly affecting yield and production. Given the high economic losses resulting from lameness in dairy cows, reaching even >40% (depending on the scale of production), there seems to be a need to implement extensive preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of limb infections in animals. The most important effective preventive measures to reduce the occurrence of limb diseases with symptoms of lameness are periodic hoof examinations and correction, nutritional control, and bathing with disinfectants. A clean and dry environment for cows should also be a priority.

This paper presents the results of substantiation of the component composition of the medicinal product «DB» for dry hoof baths for the treatment and prevention of infectious and non-infectious diseases of the distal extremities of cattle. The selection of the most optimal composition was carried out based on the results of studying the adsorption activity of 13 experimental samples and determining the minimum bactericidal (fungicidal) concentration of 10 experimental samples. The maximum adsorption and antimicrobial activity of the sample, which includes bentonite, copper sulfate, zinc sulfate, polyvinyl alcohol, perlite, camphor oil and sodium benzenesulfochloramide (called «DB») is shown. The tests showed that the composition of «DB» is the most optimal combination of the substances used, which complemented each other, leading to increased adsorption, bactericidal and anti-inflammatory properties. The developed means for dry hoof baths installed in places where animals are driven will be most effective in the initial (maceration, microtrauma, fresh wounds, etc.) and middle stages of infectious diseases of the distal extremities, which will significantly reduce the incidence and development of severe infectious forms of diseases. In this regard, the introduction of this means into the technology of cattle breeding will reduce labor costs for the prevention and treatment of cattle, will contribute to an increase in the period of economic use of animals, a decrease in the development of antibiotic resistance of pathogenic microorganisms and an increase in the profitability of cattle breeding as a whole.
