INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF TRIGGER FACTORS OF DISTAL LIMB DYSFUNCTION IN CATTLE NECROBACTERIOSIS

PDF

Abstract

In recent years, lameness and necrobacteriosis in high-yielding dairy cattle have become major challenges in modern veterinary practice, particularly under intensive farming conditions. The widespread use of high-concentrate diets, reduced fiber intake, and total mixed ration feeding systems has significantly contributed to the increasing prevalence of these disorders.
