Abstract

This study investigates the pathogenetic basis of lameness and necrobacteriosis in high-yielding cattle. The interrelationship between feeding systems, ruminal acidosis, and laminitis under intensive dairy farming conditions was analyzed. The results demonstrated that the majority of lameness cases were associated with hoof pathologies. Furthermore, disturbances in microcirculation and secondary infections were identified as key factors contributing to the development of necrobacteriosis.
