Many hunters are familiar with the hoof sloughing associated with the chronic form of hemorrhagic disease because the condition frequently persists into the winter. An interruption of growth, resulting from high fever, often causes the hooves to appear broken or ringed. In extreme cases the tips of the hooves will actually slough off.

OBS

Sloughed hoof, the loss of the entire horny claw is a rare condition in cattle. It may be caused by direct trauma (trapping the foot; infections, such as foot and mouth disease [FMD]; generalized intoxication, such as ergot poisoning; systemic vasculitis, such as that following infection with Salmonella dublin; and hereditary defective keratogenesis imperfecta. Traumatic sloughing is a primary detachment, whereas sloughed hoof following epidermal disruption or infection is a secondary detachment.
