Tail-tip necrosis in beef and dairy cattle: A report of seven cases in Ankara

Kuyruk ucu nekrozu uzun yıllardır sert zeminli ahırlarda bakılan sığırlarda meydana gelen bir hastalık olarak bilinmektedir. Hastalık etçi yönlü yetiştirilen düvelerde, inek ve boğalarda bildirilmiştir. Bu makalede yazarlar Ankara ilinde toplam yedi etçi ve sütçü sığırda makroskopik olarak gözlemlenen kuyruk ucu nekrozunu tanımlamaktadırlar.

Ankara’da etçi ve sütçü sığırlarda kuyruk ucu nekrozu: Ankara’da 7 olgunun sunumu.

Tail-tip necrosis has long been recognized as a disease condition occurring in cattle housed on slattedfloors. The disease has been reported in heifers, steers and bulls with beef production. In the present article the authors describe macroscopically diagnosed tail-tip necrosis in a total of seven beef and dairy cattle observed in Ankara. Diagnosis of tail tip necrosis was made on the basis of clinical examination and descriptive analysis of gross lesions. The present article highlights the importance of including tail-tip necrosis on the list of differential diagnoses for diseases characterized by involvement of the musculoskeletal system, consisting of the tail.
