dc.description.abstractThe present study in goats was conducted in clinical cases reported at Department of Veterinary Surgery and Radiology, Anand, Institutional farms, villages surveyed around Anand, goat camps and Panjrapoles in and around Anand. to record the incidence of hoof disorders and to standardize treatment protocol for management of various hoof disorders. The functional hoof trimming was carried out in all the affected animals. Random samples of hoof shavings and blood for laboratory estimation were collected. The information derived from surveillance using an evolved proforma was analyzed and presented. A total of 6000 goats were screened during the survey, of which 1160 had different foot lesions. The foot lesions encountered with incidence were overgrown hoof 420 (36.20%), white line separation 295 (25.43%), sole ulcer 190 (16.37), sole hemorrhage 85 (7.32%), foreign body in sole 31 (2.67%), interdigital hyperplasia 29 (2.5%), laminitis 22 (1.89%), maggot wound 19 (1.63%), hoof avulsion 17 (1.46%), vertical fissure 25 (2.15%), dependent joint and tendon affections 16 (1.37%) and pedal bone dislocation 01 (0.09%). Age wise incidence of hoof lesions was lowest (9.48%) in young animals between 0 to 2 year and higher (45.51%) in the adult animals above 6 years of age. The Housing was observed to be the main factor associated with the occurrence of hoof disorders in goats. The survey about predisposing factors of the hoof disorders during anamnesis revealed that out of 1160 affected animals, 820/1160 (70.68%) were maintained on kachha floor with poor hygienic condition and the remaining (340/1160, 29.31 %) on pakka floor with hygienic conditions indicating higher incidence on kachha floor compared to goats maintained on pakka floor. The incidence of hoof disorders was more during the wet season (63.01%) compared to dry season (36.98 %). The maximum hoof lesions were observed in hind limbs (729; 62.84%) with greater involvement of outer claw (432; 59.25%), however in fore-limbs (431; 37.15%) the involvement of inner claw (290; 67.28%) was more. A survey about feeding practices revealed it to be highly variable and diverse. The farmers had no standard feeding practices and many allowed ad lib grazing and also access to household waste food along with the green and concentrate. It was difficult to correlate the effect of feeding practices and hoof affection under present scenario of goat rearing in animals surveyed. Manual hoof trimming was done in 230 goats with 100 in standing position and 130 in lateral recumbency while 22 goats required sedation for hoof trimming. The estimations of blood biochemical parameters (Total Protein, Albumin, Globulin, Ca, P, Mg, Na, K) and minerals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Ca, P) in hoof shavings did not reveal any significant difference between different animals. The functional hoof trimming in 230 animals facilitated detection of subclinical laminitic lesions and reduced the progression of disease. The use of proper hoof trimming instruments facilitated comfortable functional hoof trimming with less manpower and time.en_US
