Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock hoof treatment in veterinary medicine, and in particular to a wearable treatment device for the hoof of ungulate animals. Background Art

[0002] Foot rot, also known as interhoof rot or interdigital rot, is an infectious disease that occurs most frequently in autumn and can affect sheep, cattle, pigs, and horses. It is characterized by localized tissue inflammation and necrosis. Because the disease often affects the hooves, it is called "foot rot."

[0003] Foot rot in sheep can be either infectious or non-infectious. It's caused by necrotic bacilli invading the hooves of sheep, causing the hoof to soften, rot, and ooze pus. Leaky foot rot in beef cattle is caused by necrotic anaerobic bacilli. Depending on the location of the leak, it can be categorized as heart leak, burr leak, and loop leak. Depending on the nature of the exudate, it can be further categorized as dry leak, wet leak, and hemorrhagic leak. With leaking, the hoof is dry, and scraping reveals a gray, powdery residue. With wet leak, the hoof is perforated with a cavity, oozing black, foul-smelling pus. With hemorrhagic leak, purple-red blood oozes. Heart leak occurs in the center of the hoof; loop leak occurs on the periphery of the center; and loop leak occurs on the upper outer edge of the hoof, between the carpus and the burr. The condition causes swelling, fever, and purple-red, eventually turning bluish-purple. Over time, it ruptures, oozing a yellowish-brown pus with a foul odor, and can even cause the hoof to fall off, making walking difficult.

[0004] Livestock such as cattle, sheep, and pigs typically stand for extended periods of time. After foot rot treatment, they need to be moved to a clean area, which results in additional cleaning and site occupation. Furthermore, even after moving to a clean area, foot rot treatment requires trimming the cuticle of the animal's hoof. This thin cuticle can easily cause secondary damage or even more serious infection when the animal steps on the ground. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a therapeutic device that can assist in the treatment of hoofed livestock. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a wearable therapeutic device for the hoof and toes of ungulate animals. The present invention is implemented as follows:

[0011] As a further improvement, outer shells with different numbers of assembled shells are selected according to the classification of livestock to be treated. For monoungulate and diungulate livestock, outer shells with two assembled shells are selected. For non-monoungulate and diungulate odd-toed ungulate / even-toed ungulate livestock, outer shells with the corresponding number of assembled shells are selected according to the number of ungulates.

[0012] As a further improvement, the lower end surface of the baffle is provided with anti-slip grooves.

[0013] As a further improvement, no baffle is provided during treatment of monoungulate livestock, and the outer wall of the isolation shell abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell.

[0014] As a further improvement, a fourth through hole is opened above the third through hole on the assembled shell, and threaded holes are opened at positions corresponding to the fourth through holes on the supporting mesh plate. The supporting mesh plate can be removably arranged inside the assembled shell by bolts passing through the fourth through holes.

[0015] As a further improvement, the outer shell is in the shape of a cylinder with an outer diameter gradually increasing from top to bottom.

[0016] As a further improvement, when sick livestock need to change the dressing, the baffle and the supporting mesh plate at the corresponding position are unlocked, the old treatment filling is taken out from the bottom, and the new treatment filling is replaced and then reassembled.

[0017] As a further improvement, the anti-wear filler includes a base cloth, the inner and outer surfaces of the base cloth are respectively provided with Velcro that can cooperate with each other, and the outer surface of the base cloth is provided with a locking device at intervals, and the locking device can be fastened to the third through hole or the fourth through hole.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] By providing wearable treatment devices adapted to different hoof types, the device can be widely used as an auxiliary treatment for hoof rot in large-scale and common livestock species such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. This saves space for livestock after treatment and reduces the need for cleaning work for livestock keepers.

[0020] Furthermore, by placing therapeutic drugs in wearable therapeutic devices, the animals' recovery can be accelerated, while reducing the possibility of infection and minimizing losses to breeders. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
