Method for preventing and/or treating hairy wart disease
View Patent ↗Provided is a novel method for preventing and/or treating hairy wart disease which is a hoof and leg disease of ungulates. The method is carried out by administering an isothiocyanic acid ester such as allyl isothiocyanate to a hoof of an ungulate. Examples of ungulates targeted for application of the present invention include cows such as dairy cows as well as sheep, pigs and horses.
1. A method for treating hairy wart disease by administering a therapeutic composition comprising at least 5% by weight of an isothiocyanic acid ester as an active ingredient to a hoof of an ungulate in need thereof, wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is a C 2-6 alkenyl isothiocyanate, aryl isothiocyanate, C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate, phenyl C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate or C 3-6 cycloalkyl isothiocyanate.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is a C 2-6 alkenyl isothiocyanate.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is administered to a hoof of an ungulate after hoof trimming.
4. A therapeutic agent for hairy wart disease, comprising at least 5% by weight of an isothiocyanic acid ester as an active ingredient thereof, wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is a C 2-6 alkenyl isothiocyanate, aryl isothiocyanate, C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate, phenyl C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate or C 3-6 cycloalkyl isothiocyanate.
5. The therapeutic agent according to claim 4 , wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is a C 2-6 alkenyl isothiocyanate.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic agent is sprayed, applied or affixed to an affected area of the hoof.
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the therapeutic agent is a powdered composition.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hairy wart disease is digital dermatitis.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the hairy wart disease is caused by a pathogen of the genus Treponema.
10. The therapeutic agent according to claim 4 , which is in the form of a powdered composition.
11. A method for treating hairy wart disease by administering a therapeutic agent comprising at least 5% by weight of an isothiocyanic acid ester as an active ingredient thereof to a hoof of an ungulate in need thereof,
wherein the isothiocyanic acid ester is a C 2-6 alkenyl isothiocyanate, aryl isothiocyanate, C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate, phenyl C 1-6 alkyl isothiocyanate or C 3-6 cycloalkyl isothiocyanate, and
the therapeutic agent is sprayed, applied or affixed directly to an affected area.
