Abstract

Topallık,
modern süt sığırcılığında hayvanların verimini, sağlığını ve refahını
etkileyerek ciddi miktarlarda ekonomik kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Ayak
hastalıklarının ortak bir göstergesi olan topallıklar, multifaktoriyel
etiyolojiye sahiptir. Bunlar ineğe bağlı faktörler ve sürüye bağlı faktörler
olarak iki gruba ayrılabilir. Sürüye bağlı faktörlerden olan inek konforu
(özellikle geçiş dönemindeki ineklerin konforu) topallık nedeni olarak büyük
öneme sahiptir. Topallığın başlatıcı faktörleri (buzağılama, besleme, travma)
zayıf inek konforu ile şiddetlenebilir. İnek konforunun düşmesi, yeni topallık
olgularının gelişmesine ve topal ineklerin iyileşme süresinin uzamasına neden
olarak topallık insidensini etkiler. Dinlenme süresinin azalması ineklerin sert
zeminlere maruz kalma süresini de uzatacaktır. İnek konforu, inek konfor
indeksi (İKİ), durak kullanım indeksi, durakta bekleme indeksi, tarsal ve
karpal eklem puanlamaları veya hijyen puanlaması gibi yöntemlerle
değerlendirilebilmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı serbest duraklı ahırlarda
barındırılan süt ineklerinde, inek konforunun topallık oluşumundaki önemini
değerlendirmek ve inek konforunun değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan yöntemler
hakkında bilgi vermektir.
