More often traumas of hooves of pigs are diagnosed for owners where in pigsties put rough, with koldobinami floors on which animals to contain without a podyostilka. On such floorings the basis of skin myayokishy and soles is injured, and also the horn of hooves is very much erased. Cause it also rough timber floor in which there were knots or metal subjects can. On manual crumbs there are red or cerise spots which inflate. For the 3-4th days obrazovyvaetsya phlegmon. In that case neobxodimo to invite the expert of veterinary medicine who will in due time cut phlegmon and will make the corresponding aseptic processing.
Often at animals it is possible to observe bruises and wounds on a nimbus, and also a jamming of one of hooves in cracks between floor boards. In that case almost always proisxodit stretching of sinews. In the mentioned conditions of the maintenance of pigs of a trauma of hooves can repeat and cause formation of ulcers on skin which with vremeyony nekrotiziruyutsya and becomes covered brown, with a nepriyatyony smell, pus. The ulcers sometimes develop, however the expressed lameness isn’t observed.
The crumb inflammation which horn layer becomes soft is dangerous. On its surface obrazovyvayutsya cracks, and in them – mass of a horn fabric. Gait at pigs becomes unstable, shatyoky and then animals lean a zatsepny part of hooves. In this case the farmer can carry out treatment independently, having removed the changed horn fabric and at an osyonovaniye of skin to apply a bandage with liquid ointment Vishnevyosky. If necessary procedure repeat.

A sick finger in comparison with healthy uvelichivaetsya in 4-5 times and at the same time on a nimbus site obrazovyvaetsya some fistulas. At purulent arthritises excessive lameness is observed. At development of gnoyyony process carry out operative treatment.
In some farms it is possible to observe cracks on a kopyttsevy horn of animals. The reason of emergence of this disease is dryness in shelters and absence of walks. Cracks appear on a nimbus of a horn wall and gradually go deep.
Distribution of cracks to a basis of skin causes its infection and excessive lameness. For profilaktiki diseases humidify floorings in shelters, bathe zhiyovotny and cut off the expanded horn fabrics.
At identification of cracks a horn fabric grease with nesoleyony fat or tar.
To diseases of hooves refer their deformation which arises in the conditions of low-mobility when the horn capsule is extended and deformed. For profilaktiki it is necessary to examine diseases of a hoof constantly and if necessary to cut off.
Painful gait, low-mobility, iskrivleyony bones at pigs observe at a shortcoming in racione vitamin D.
