Features of the manifestation of tendonitis in horses and cattle

Abstract

In the work, the authors described the incidence of tendonitis among large farm animals (horses, cows, bulls), the causes of their occurrence and the characteristic clinical signs of this pathology. During diagnostic measures, it was revealed that the clinical signs of tendon pathology were visually quite pronounced in horses and bulls - producers, in cows this pathology was smoothed or hidden. Biochemical blood tests showed that in horses with manifestations of tendonitis, the content of medium-mass molecules was significantly higher by 25.12% than in healthy animals; the level of sialic acids was also higher by 9.58%, but this difference was not significant; noteworthy is the almost double increase in the level of circulating immune complexes (PEG - 4.14) in sick animals and the level of circulating immune complexes (PEG - 7.25) by 45.36%, compared with healthy animals. At the same time, the aspirin test rate was higher by 49.15% in healthy animals, and the level of lysozyme in patients and healthy horses had a difference of only 4.54%, which was not reliable. In manufacturing bulls, the concentration of medium-weight molecules in the blood of sick animals increased by 23.6%; sialic acids increased by 4.94% and the concentration of circulating immune complexes with PEG-4.14 increased by 10.82%; the concentration of circulating immune complexes with PEG-7.25 had a significant increase of 39.71% .; the content of lyso-zyme, compared with healthy, increased by 18.5%. The aspirin test index has almost doubled compared to healthy animals. These pathologies cause significant damage to livestock farms, in view of the downtime of breeding animals sent for rehabilitation and treatment, and their culling.
