| Popis: | This study presents a descriptive, analytical, epidemiological, and clinical observation of Krafft disease, as well as an assessment of disease appearance risks by researching receptivity factors, in the southeastern regions of Tunisia. Krafft symptoms are characterized by musculoskeletal disorders leading from lameness to immobilization, which aggravates the condition of the affected animal. Average disease prevalence was 5% in the herds studied. It has been linked to the passage of herds to Dhahar rangelands. It was mainly observed during winter and spring in females in late gestation and early lactation. |
