EFFECTS OF BIOTIN OR ETHYLENEDIAMINE DIHYDRIODIDE SUPPLEMENTATION ON CLAW LESIONS IN CATTLE
Abstract
A controlled 12 months field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of biotin or ethylenediamine dihydriodide(EDDI) supplementation on hoof lesions in cattles. Sixty cows were studied and supplemented with 20 mg/d biotin (n:20) or 50 mg/d EDDI (n:20) and control (n:20) by feeding. The claws of 60 cows were trimmed three times at 4-months intervals, and hoof health was evaluated. At the final hoof trimming, sole hemorrhages were significantly higher in control (42%) than biotin-supplemented animals (22%) and EDDI - supplemented animals (26%). The incidents of cows affected with double soles, white line separation, hoof wall grooves, digital dermatitis and horn erosion were not different between control and biotin or EDDI supplemented animals.
