Hoof is the most used part of the horse's body. They are vulnerable to wear, tears, and other various deadly infections. One such fungal infection is White Line disease. It is also known as a hollow foot, Seedy's toe, and Wall Thrush. Medically, Whiteline disease is called Onychomycosis (Latin: Onyx means nail, Michael means fungus, and foreign body means state).
Explanation of the disease
On the hoof wall there are three layers, outer, middle and inner. The outer wall forms a jacket. The middle layer consists of a horn capillary which gives speed and elasticity to the hoof. The inner layer consists of 600 tissue extensions in conjunction with a sensitive thin layer called a lamellar thin layer. This thin layer protects coffin bones, sensitive cartilage, and other sensitive parts of the hooves. The white line or Zona Lamellatum is the joint between the hoof wall and the sole. Bacteria or fungi attack the square tube away from the blood vessels. This causes infection. As a result, the hoof wall is separated from the sensitive thin layer,
Reduced weight support between hoof and hoof wall
Other hoof complications such as swelling, swelling
Cause
Bacterial or fungal infections are attacked through hoof cracks or cracks. In hot and humid environments, fungi survive long and can do more damage:
Tears of the medium layer from Laminiti
Acute trauma from a thin forepaw causes the thin tissue to stretch and become unhealthy
The only foot bud adjacent to a white line, causing a thrombosis
Loss of shoes
Inappropriate cropping
Malnutrition
Symptom
Separation between hoof and shoe sole
Partial removal of hooves
Gentleness and flattening of shoe sole
Hollow sound of hoof
Diagnosis
This disease is diagnosed with the help of X-ray examination.
processing
Remove the affected outer layer or outer hoof wall to completely expose the wound to light and air
The damaged tissue is removed every two weeks until a solid junction is formed between the thin layer and the hoof wall
Medicines such as betadin, fungal dye, melthiolate and the like can be applied to the wound.
Metal shoes are used to bandage or protect the affected hooves. The shoes are screwed to the outer hoof wall.
Precautionary measures
Timely hooves care
Chlorox, adopts immersion such as copper sulfate
Ensure adequate sunlight and cleanliness on a stable or ranch
Disinfection of trimming equipment
Appropriate nutrition of horses
