THE FACTORS OF CLINICAL BLOOD ANALYSIS INDICE DYNAMICS IN COWS WITH ORTHOPEDIC CASES
The research goal includes improving the efficiency of treatment of purulonecrotic lesions in hooves using a sorption material of natural origin - diatomite quarried at the Inzenskoye deposit of the Ulyanovsk Region. Clinical orthopedic examination of dairy cattle identified cows with soft tissue ulcer in the hooves and purulent pododermatitis; 6 trial groups were formed. The treatment was carried out in accordance with the phases of the inflammatory process: at hydration phase - sorbent-based complex powders based on diatomite and antiseptics were applied; and at dehydration phase - Levomecol ointment was applied. It was found that all studied haematological indices tended to increase in all experimental orthopedic cows by the end of treatment on the average: RBC - by 9.2...43.3%, haemoglobin contents - by 8.8...44.7%, mean corpuscular hemoglobin - by 3.1...13.1%, mean cell volume - by 8.4...11.0%, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration - by 6.6…10.8%. Positive dynamic changes of the most “red blood” indicators in the trial groups were more pronounced than those in the control group.
