Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper discusses the epizootic situation observed in livestock farms located in the Talgar, Ile and Enbekshikazakh districts of the Almaty region for the period from 2017 to 2019.Bacteriological study was carried out on samples taken from 501 cows showing clinical signs of interdigital necrobacillosis.For each farm considered, coefficients were calculated that reflected the intensity of the epizootic process.To ascertain preconditions for morbidity, the households and livestock complexes were inspected by certified veterinarians from Kazakh National Agrarian University.In the vast majority of the farms studied, the incidence of bovine foot rot was quite high, which was presumably determined by inappropriate housing conditions, imbalanced nutrition, and the lack of vaccination.A number of recommendations were indicated, such as reduction of stocking density and adequate nutrition.
