🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:With this study, in which the incidences of diseases seen in sheep feet raised in the Kars and Iğdır regions were evaluated clinically and radiologically according to two different seasons, a total of 8.000 sheep were examined in the pasture (n=4230) and pen/stall (n=3770) seasons; problems were detected in 1.080 (25.51%) of them in the pasture season and 520 (13.76%) of them in the pen/stall season.
📊
Key Findings & Data:It was determined that the herd in general suffered primarily from horn and hoof deformations in the pasture season with 17.70% and in the pen/stall season with 11.78%.

Abstract

With this study, in which the incidences of diseases seen in sheep feet raised in the Kars and Iğdır regions were evaluated clinically and radiologically according to two different seasons, a total of 8.000 sheep were examined in the pasture (n=4230) and pen/stall (n=3770) seasons; problems were detected in 1.080 (25.51%) of them in the pasture season and 520 (13.76%) of them in the pen/stall season. It was determined that the herd in general suffered primarily from horn and hoof deformations in the pasture season with 17.70% and in the pen/stall season with 11.78%. Osteophyte formations and rotation were detected in the phalangeal bones of 20 of the sheep, and osteolysis was detected in the third phalanx of 8 of the sheep. In the aforementioned seasons, the rate of foot rot was 2.83% and 0.82% respectively. It was detected that according to the breed of sheep, 54.69% of the foot problems were seen in Akkaraman, 39.81% in Morkaraman, 1.43% in Tujin, and 4.07% in other sheep breeds (Merino, Kıvırcık). In addition, it was concluded that animal owners do not have sufficient knowledge concerning foot and hoof care, or do not care much about this issue. In conclusion, it was determined that the most important foot problem for sheep raised in the Kars and Iğdır regions is hoof deformation, and it was concluded that this could largely be avoided with simple precautions

Özet

Kars ve Iğdır Yöresinde yetiştirilen koyunlarda görülen ayak hastalıklarının klinik, radyolojik olarak değerlendiği ve farklı iki döneme göre insidensinin belirlendiği bu çalışmada, mera (n=4230) ve ağıl/ahır döneminde (n=3770) toplam 8.000 koyun muayene edilmiş olup; bunlardan mera döneminde 1.080 (%25.51), ağıl/ahır döneminde ise 520 (%13.76)'sinde problem saptanmıştır.Sürü genelinde boynuz tırnak deformasyonlarının mera döneminde %17.70, ağıl/ahır döneminde ise %11.78 ile ilk sırayı aldığı tespit edildi. Koyunlardan 20'sinde phalangeal kemiklerde osteofitik üremeler ve rotasyon, 8'inde ise üçüncü phalanksta osteoliz saptandı. Aynı dönemler içinde piyeten oranı sırasıyla %2.83 ve %0.82 olarak saptandı. Koyun ırklarına göre ayak problemlerinin %54.69'unun Akkaraman; %39.81'inin Morkaraman; %1.43'ünün Tuj, %4.07'sinin diğer (Merinos, Kıvırcık) koyun ırklarında görüldüğü tespit edildi. Ayrıca hayvan sahiplerinin ayak ve tırnak bakımı konusunda yeterince bilgi sahibi olmadıkları ya da konuyu fazla önemsemedikleri kanaatine varıldı. Sonuç olarak, Kars ve Iğdır yöresinde yetiştirilen koyunlar için en önemli ayak probleminin tırnak deformasyonlarının olduğu saptanmış olup, bunların basit önlemlerle önemli ölçüde önlenebileceği sonucuna varılmıştır
