Abstract

Modern yöntemlerin uygulandığı süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde, yıllar içinde topallıkların artması dikkat çekicidir. Bu bağlamda ortalama verim arttıkça, topallığın gelecekte daha da büyük bir sorun haline geleceği öngörülebilir. Süt sığırlarında topallığa neden olan ayak hastalıkları enfeksiyöz ve nonenfeksiyöz olmak üzere iki kategoride incelenebilir. Bu hastalıklar, sığırları etkileyen en önemli ağrılı hastalıklar grubundandır. Bu nedenle topallık süt sığırlarında önemli bir hayvan refahı problemi olarak tanımlanır. Süt sığırcılığında hayvan refahı üç bileşen üzerinden değerlendirilebilir. Bunlar; hayvanın doğal davranış ve ihtiyaçlarını gerçekleştirme yeteneği ve imkânı, hayvanın duygusal durumu ve hayvanın sağlığı olarak sıralanabilir. Bir hayvanın refahı, onun doğal fiziksel ve zihinsel durumunun korunması ve ihtiyaçlarının giderilmesini içerir. İnsan tarafından kontrol altına alınmış herhangi bir hayvanın bu durum ve ihtiyaçlarının korunması ve giderilmesi o hayvanın en doğal hakkıdır. Bu bağlamda iyi bir hayvan refahının hem sağlık hem de iyi olma duygusu anlamına geldiği söylenebilir. Bu üç bileşeni dikkate alarak hayvan refahını tehdit eden faktörleri incelemek mümkündür. Hayvan refahı kapsamında değerlendirilen olumsuzlukların hayvanlar üzerinde oluşturduğu stres, sürü sağlığını etkileyerek önemli ekonomik kayıplara neden olur. Bu derlemenin amacı; süt sığırlarında topallıkların hayvan refahı ve davranışı üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini vurgulamak ve böylece süt sığırcılığının yetiştirici, çiftlik çalışanları vb. tüm paydaşlarında topallıklar konusunda bir farkındalık oluşturmaktır.

Lameness in dairy cattle: an assesment of its effects on animal welfare and behavior

Abstract

It is noteworthy that the prevalence of lameness in modern dairy farms has increased over the years. As the average yield increases, lameness can be predicted to become an even greater problem in the future. Foot diseases that cause lameness are commonly categorized according to their etiology into infectious and noninfectious lesions. Foot diseases are among the most important painful diseases affecting cattle. Therefore, lameness is an important animal welfare problem in dairy cattle. Animal welfare in dairy cattle can be evaluated on the following three components; the ability and ability to fulfill the natural behavior and needs of the animal, the animal's emotional state and the animal's health. The welfare of an animal includes the maintenance of its natural physical and mental state and the satisfaction of its needs. The fulfillment of these needs of any animal controlled by human beings is the most natural right of that animal. In this context, it can be said that good animal welfare means both healthy and well-being. It is possible to evaluate the factors that threaten animal welfare by considering these 3 components. The stress caused by the negativities considered within the scope of animal welfare affects the health of the herd and causes significant economic losses. The purpose of this review is to emphasize the negative effects of lameness in dairy cattle on animal welfare and behavior to raise awareness on this issue among all stakeholders of the dairy industry, such as breeders, farm workers, etc.
