| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
The most obvious sign of thrush is usually the odor that occurs when picking out the feet. Additionally, the infected areas of the hoof will be black in color (even on a dark-horned hoof), and will easily break or crumble when scraped with a hoof pick. |
| Disease Description |
Thrush is an unpleasant infection of the horse's frog that is predisposed by moist, damp, dirty ground or stall conditions. Thrush is an infection of the central and lateral sulcus of the frog of the horse's foot, most often involving bacterial infection, occasionally fungal infection. |
| Disease Control |
|
| Disease Prevention |
Thrush can be avoided by good stall management, and regular foot care and inspection. Stable your horse in clean dry conditions and have your horses' feet regularly trimmed and shod to avoid the development of long heel conformation and to keep the frog h |
| Precautions |
It is better to understand the causative & predisposing factors and try to control and prevent the occurrence of thrush. Regarding the use of herbal plants, understand the type of plant, parts to be used, preparation, storage, formulation, dosage, mode of use by consulting a professional before use. Make sure that your horses are always fully vaccinated against tetanus, an invariably fatal infection that can gain access through a damaged frog. |
| Procedure of Use |
In such a situation, animal-keeper Gafurbhai Bharwad from Ahmedabad district of Gujarat massages a mixture of cotton seed (Gossypium hirsutum) oil with salt on the affected part for seven days. This will cure the problem. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Thrush caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum bacteria. One species of bacterium (Fusobacterium necrophorum) is particularly aggressive, invading and destroying the frog, sometimes exposing the deeper sensitive tissues. Long heel conformation encourages the development of deep narrow frog sulci that are more prone to the development of thrush, if environmental conditions are right. |
| Global Context |
|
| Lesson Implication |
Invading and destroying the frog, sometimes exposing the deeper sensitive tissues |
| Other Medications / Treatments |
Treatment for horses with thrush includes twice-daily picking of the feet, taking special care to clean out the two collateral grooves and the central sulcus. The feet may then be scrubbed clean using a detergent and/or disinfectant and warm water, before the frog is coated with a commercial thrush-treatment product, or with iodine solution, which may be soaked into cotton balls and packed into the clefts |
