Abstract: The article presents the results of studying the effectiveness of VetAsepRan ointment in treating ulcerative lesions in the hooves of cattle. The experimental studies were conducted at ENVOL LLC, Melekessky District, Ulyanovsk Region. Clinical assessment of orthopedically affected animals was assessed using the lameness scoring system developed by D. J. Sprecher, D. E. Hostetler and J. B. Kaneene (1997). The study was divided into 2 experimental groups: the control group (n=10) and the experimental group (n=10). After surgical lavage of the purulent-necrotic lesion and treatment with 3% hydrogen peroxide solution, VetAsepRan ointment was applied locally in the experimental group, while Levomekol ointment was used in the control group. All animals were bandaged and special tape was applied on top to prevent liquids from getting in. Digital planimetry was used to monitor the healing process, using the AnalyRan program. The dynamics of reduction of ulcer defect area (Yt) and healing rate index (Iv), as well as Popova index (ΔS) were determined. Planimetric studies of cows were carried out on days 1, 7 and 14 after the start of treatment. In the course of the study, clinical and planimetric data were established on healing of ulcer defects in the hoof area of cows. As a result of the study, it was revealed that the use of Ve-tAsepRan ointment contributed to the recovery of orthopedically diseased animals on average by 11.6±0.37 days, compared to control animals by 13.7±0.56 days. The results of planimetric studies showed the intensity of healing processes in the experimental group.
