What's the use of repairing donkey hooves?

Repairing donkey's hoof is to avoid pain, hoof deformation and limb-hoof disease caused by longer and longer donkey's hoof.

Under normal circumstances, the hooves and legs of the donkey should form a straight line as far as possible, so that the donkey can pedal the ground hard. If the hooves are not trimmed for a long time, the hooves will become longer and longer, and the hooves and legs of the donkey will form a 90-degree angle. At this time, the donkey has no strength to work, so it is necessary to cut off the excess hoof shell.

Matters needing attention in repairing donkey's hoof:

1, Angle: the front hoof needs to be trimmed 50-55 degrees, and the rear hoof needs to be trimmed 55-60 degrees.

2. Shoe repair position: The part that needs the hoof to bear the weight after shoe repair is the hoof shell. When trimming the shoe, it is necessary to remove the redundant shoe shell to ensure the angle. When trimming hooves, you should also correct the meat hooves to make them lower than the hooves.

3, time: hoof repair should be carried out in the first trimester of pregnancy or when the fetus is empty, that is to say, hoof repair can be carried out in 4-7 months of pregnancy, but the scope of hoof repair is smaller than usual; If the angle of the donkey's hoof is seriously tilted for more than one month, it cannot be corrected at one time, and it needs to be corrected slowly, usually 2 to 3 times, and the time interval for each correction is 15 days.
