Sığırlarda Ahır Zemin Tiplerinin Ayak Hastalıkları ve Tırnak Deformasyonları Üzerine Etkilerinin Araştırılması

Abstract

Bu saha çalışmasında farklı tipteki ahır zeminlerinin sığır ayak hastalıkları ve tırnak deformasyonları üzerine etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Araştırma Muş ve yöresinde rastgele seçilen 81 ahırda yürütüldü. Bu ahırlarda barındırılan farklı yaş, ırk, ağırlık ve cinsiyetteki toplam 1292 sığır materyal olarak kullanıldı. Bu ahırların zemin yapılarının tiplerine göre hayvanlarda görülen ayak hastalıkları ve tırnak deformasyonları oranları saptandı. Yapılan araştırmada elde edilen veriler ahır zemin tiplerinin sığır ayak hastalıkları ve tırnak deformiteleri üzerine önemli etkilerinin olduğu görülmüştür. İncelenen bu 81 ahırda beton zeminli barınaklarda %32.97, taş zeminli barınaklarda %8.51, tahta zeminli barınaklarda %5.57, kauçuk zeminli barınaklarda %6.66, toprak zeminli barınaklarda ise %46.28 olarak ayak hastalıkları ve tırnak deformiteleri tespit edilmiştir. SPSS for Windows 21.0 (IBM) Descriptive Stastistics Analysis Crosstabs metoduyla Chi-Square testi kullanılarak, barınak zemin tiplerinin (beton, taş, tahta, kauçuk, toprak) yetiştirilen sığırların ayak hastalıkları ve tırnak deformasyonları üzerine olan etkilerinin araştırılması yönünden analizi yapıldı. Ulaşılan sonuçların ışığı altında P<0.05 ve P<0.01 aralıkları çalışma verileri açısından anlamlı olarak kabul edildi.

Investigation of Cattle in the Diseases of Stable Ground Foot Type and Nail on the Effects of Deformation

Abstract

This area of the barn floor in different types of work aimed to investigate the effects of foot diseases and nail deformation. Research, Mush and the region was carried out in 81 randomly selected in the barn. It is hosted in the stables of different ages, races, a total of 1292 cattle were used as material in weight and gender. This is based on the types of barn floor structure revealed foot diseases and nail deformation rates in animals. The data obtained in the studies has been shown to have a significant effect on the cattle disease foot and nail deformities of barn flooring types. Investigation of the 81 in the shelter, concrete floors in the barn %32.97, stone floors in shelters %8.51, wood floors in shelters  %5.57, %6.66 in rubber flooring shelter, and in earth-floored shelter foot diseases and nail deformities as %46.28 were identified. SPSS for Windows 21.0 (IBM) using Descriptive Stastistics Analysis Crosstabs method with Chi-Square test, shelter floor types (concrete, stone, wood, rubber, earth) grown cattle foot disease and were analyzed in terms of the investigation of the effects on the nail deformation. In the light of the results P<0.05 and P<0.01 were considered significant in terms of the range of trial data.
