INJURIES IN CATTLE INDUSTRY OF VOLOGDA REGION
The aim of the study is to develop a method for the treatment and prevention of injuries of animals with the use of subsidies of iodine by implantation. Animals with surgical pathology were detected by clinical examination. Animals were investigated, the localization and nature of the pathological process were determined, the general condition of the animals was assessed. The determination of trace element iodine in the feed of Vologda region was performed in Federal state budgetary institution state center of agrochemical service “Vologda". Mostly surgical diseases in cows are localized in the area of tarsebaceous joint (74 cases or 6,3%) and the fingers (16 cases, or 1,4%). Bursitis of tar sebaceous joint is found in 3,8%, purulent-necrotic diseases of finger cellulitis were 72 %, pododermatitis and laminitis -16 %, purulent wounds and abrasions - 12 %. High mortality of piglets falls on the first week of life. The main causes of mortality in this period are trauma (including running over by sow) -18% and low viability. Biting and contused wounds of the head, thighs, and genitals caused by aggressive boars and sows - 5%. There have been isolated phenomenon of the so-called paresis and paralysis of limbs - from the total number of examined animals - 5%. Vologda region refers to the area where the soil is poor in iodine, and a minimum threshold concentration of this trace element is below 2-3 mg/ kg and the content of iodine in feed often does not exceed 0,05 mg/kg of dry matter in water samples from 2,01 to 6,48 μg/L. Injuries in the cattle industry of Vologda region recently has become special because of its frequency. The study of this topic is important for understanding the role of etiological factors for the development of methods of prevention and treatment of injuries.
