Abstract

Non-healing claw lesions (NHCLs) are a newly characterized disorder affecting the deep dermis of the hoof in dairy cattle. Although NHCLs are thought to be associated with bovine digital dermatitis (BDD), their precise etiology is not yet understood. To investigate the bacterial populations present in each type of NHCL (toe necrosis: TN, non-healing white line disease: nhWLD, and a non-healing sole ulcer: nhSU), and the newly added entity non-healing verrucous-like lesions (nhVLL), 16S rRNA-based metagenomic analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS) was employed. Twelve cases of NHCLs (3 TN, 3 nhWLD, 4 nhSU, and 2 nhVLL) were collected from five dairy farms in two prefectures in Japan. Three samples of healthy hoof dermis collected from two farms and a slaughterhouse were used as controls. Furthermore, culture-dependent and -independent approaches were conducted for detecting species and . As reported in BDD, species and were detected frequently from NHCLs by PCR and immunohistochemistry, but NGS showed that these bacterial genera were not predominant in NHCLs. The predominant bacterial genera in NHCLs differed among the lesions examined, suggesting that species present predominantly in BDD were not predominant in NHCLs and that the bacterial population in NHCLs may vary among individual cattle and/or farms.
