Klaueninfektionen beim Schaf – Therapiemöglichkeiten in der tierärztlichen Praxis unter besonderer Berück sichtigung der Moderhinkebekämpfung

Zusammenfassung

Lahmheiten aufgrund von infektiösen Klauenerkrankungen bei Schafen besitzen nach wie vor eine hohe klinische Relevanz. Hinsichtlich der Therapie, insbesondere der Moderhinke, haben sich unter anderem durch die Neuzulassung von Medikamenten entscheidende Änderungen ergeben. Der Artikel gibt eine Übersicht über die Differenzialdiagnosen häufiger und seltener infektiöser Klauenerkrankungen beim Schaf und geht im Detail auf neue Erkenntnisse zu Ätiologie, Diagnostik, Prophylaxe, Behandlung und Kontrolle der Moderhinke ein. Trotz der Neuzulassung verschiedener antibiotischer Wirkstoffe zur Behand-lung der Moderhinke bleibt eine Umwidmung für Klauenbäder im Rahmen von integrierten Behandlungskonzepten in vielen Fällen unverzichtbar. Zur nachhaltigen Bekämpfung der Moderhinke sind die Umsetzung aktueller wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse in die Praxis und die Erarbeitung maßgeschneiderter Behandlungspläne für den jeweiligen Betrieb vonnöten. Der Artikel zeigt die verschiedenen Behandlungsoptionen sowie Wege zu Kontrolle und Sanierung auf.

Summary

Infectious causes of lameness in sheep remain of considerable clinical importance. Because of the availability of newly licensed drugs, important changes in therapy options, particularly for ovine footrot, have occurred. This paper provides an overview of common and rarer infectious causes of lameness in sheep, and presents a detailed review of recent advances in research regarding the aetiology, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and control of ovine foot rot. Despite the recent release of several antibiotics licensed for the treatment of footrot in sheep, the use of footbaths following the cascade of regulations remains a crucial part of many integrated treatment and control programmes. The sustainable control of foot rot requires recent advances in science to be put into practice, with tailor-made control programmes for each individual farm. The article presents various treatment options and potential routes of control and eradication.
