Researchers, by examining the results of newly formulated Pomat® and ceftiofur hydrochloride (Eficur®) applications, determined that there was healing in wounds caused by D. nodosus, F. necrophorum and other bacteria, and tissue regeneration occurred at a rate of 100% on the 11th day of checks.
Foot rot disease is a very serious disease seen in cattle, causing them to limp, and reducing their weight and milk yields. The disease is quite common in cattle living in wet or crowded-narrow living areas, on floors wet with urine and feces, and in cattle suffering from neglect of hoof care and nutritional deficiencies. This study conducted by researchers draws attention in terms of investigating the causes of the disease and ways to prevent it. One of the researchers, Mehmet Kale, states that they detected wounds, pain, and limping problems in the soles and heels of some animals in 5 dairy cattle farms in Burdur Province, and these animals were subjected to laboratory analyses with the samples taken from them. He also says that they detected the presence of D. nodosus and F. necrophorum bacteria in 41 of the animals as a result of the analyses, and a special ointment and additional treatments were applied to them.
Wound Healing Ointment: A Powerful Solution Against Bacteria
The active ingredient of the ointment is known as an effective substance against bacteria and this substance inhibits the RNA polymerase of bacteria, thereby stopping mRNA synthesis, thus preventing nucleic acid formation. In vitro experiments show that this substance is effective against many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, and research confirms that topical use of this substance controls the infection and accelerates wound healing. The content of the ointment includes auxiliary substances used for antiseptic, astringent, antiperspirant, drying, and odor-removing purposes. In addition, other substances such as solvent, emulsifier, and drying agent have been added to the content.
80% Healing Achieved with New Ointment and Eficur!Formun Üstü
Researchers examined the results of the newly formulated Ointment® and ceftiofur hydrochloride (Eficur®) applications and found that on the 11th day of the controls, there was healing in the wounds caused by D. nodosus, F. necrophorum, and other bacteria, and tissue regeneration occurred 100%. In addition, the research results show that as a result of the treatment applications continuing continuously for 10 days, there was a 93.33% improvement in mild and moderate limping, a 45.45% improvement in severe acute limping, and the overall limping improvement rate was 80%. In conclusion, in foot problems with mixed infections caused by D. nodosus, F. necrophorum, and other bacteria, the newly formulated Ointment® and ceftiofur hydrochloride (Eficur®) applications have been found to be effective in mild-moderate level and severe acute limping in cattle, and they provide wound healing and tissue regeneration in the foot soles, and this has been shared with the scientific world.
