Surgical pathology in sheep at the farms of the rostov region

Abstract

The state of sheep breeding in Russia is associated with the macroeconomic situation in the country. Agricultural production is designed to ensure the food security of the state, but the presence of various animal diseases inhibits the development of animal husbandry. In the last decade, an extremely difficult situation has developed in sheep breeding in the Rostov region, which has led to a sharp reduction in the number of animals. Scientific research was carried out on the basis of sheep farms in the farms of the Millerovsky, Belokalitvinsky, Salsky, Dubovsky districts of the Rostov region.
The situation is complicated by the presence of various non-infectious, including surgical pathologies, which include diseases of the fingers. The predisposing factors for the emergence of surgical pathology of the distal extremities were feeding errors and impaired mineral metabolism in the body of sheep. In sheep, this pathology is often recorded, accompanied by a decrease in wool and meat productivity by 40%, milk productivity by 60%. In this regard, we carried out an analysis of non-communicable diseases of sheep in the farms of the Rostov region. Based on the examination and general clinical examination of the sheep population in the farms of the Rostov region, an analysis of the revealed non-infectious pathology was carried out. Our studies allowed us to identify the existing non-infectious pathology in sheep and its distribution in the farms of the Rostov region. We have established the maximum morbidity of animals from surgical processes, which amounted to 59% of all non-infectious pathology. Of this number, 49.5% of diseases occur in the distal extremities, including purulent - necrotic lesions. During the examination, we identified the leading causes of diseases in the area of the fingers.
