Abstract
<jats:p>Necrobacteriosis of cattle is an acute or chronic infectious disease caused by the anaerobic bacterium Fusobacterium necrophorum. The disease is characterized by inflammatory-necrotic lesions of the skin, mucous membranes, hooves and internal organs. The disease is widespread and causes serious economic damage to livestock due to reduced productivity, treatment costs and slaughter of sick animals. This paper presents current information on the prevalence, etiology, pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of necrobacteriosis, and analyzes diagnostic and therapeutic methods. In addition, experimental data on the use of complex treatment regimens and preventive measures in farm conditions are considered. The relevance of studying this topic is due to the need for timely diagnosis, selection of effective treatment and development of a strategy to combat the disease in livestock farms of the Lankaran-Astara economic zone of Azerbaijan. The materials of the article may be useful to veterinary specialists, researchers and managers of livestock enterprises.</jats:p>
