The prevalence of pastern dermatitis was investigated in 917 German Coldblood horses aged 2.5 to 26 years. Pastern dermatitis was prevalent in Black Forest Draught horses with 47.5% and in South German Draught horses with 58.5%. High prevalences were found in Mecklenburg (76.4%), Saxon-Thuringa (84.3%), Schleswig (86.0%), and Rhenisch German Coldblood (96.1%) horses. All four legs or both hind legs were affected most frequently. The most prevalent forms of pastern dermatitis were crusted and hyperkeratotic-hyperplastic. The occurrence of pastern dermatitis was dependent of age. The statistical analysis using a generalized linear model and a probit function showed the significant influence of the breed, age at examination, sex, position of the leg, interaction of breed by age at examination, and breed by position of the leg. So the analysis indicated that pastern dermatitis is a serious problem in all German Coldblood breeds investigated here.
对917匹年龄在2.5至26岁之间的德国冷血马进行了跗关节皮炎患病率的调查。跗关节皮炎在黑森林挽马中的患病率为47.5%，在德国南部挽马中的患病率为58.5%。在梅克伦堡（76.4%）、萨克森 - 图林根（84.3%）、石勒苏益格（86.0%）和莱茵兰德国冷血马（96.1%）中发现了较高的患病率。四条腿或两条后腿受影响最为常见。跗关节皮炎最常见的形式是结痂和角化过度 - 增生性。跗关节皮炎的发生与年龄有关。使用广义线性模型和概率函数进行的统计分析表明，品种、检查时的年龄、性别、腿部位置、品种与检查时年龄的相互作用以及品种与腿部位置的相互作用具有显著影响。因此，分析表明跗关节皮炎在此处调查的所有德国冷血马品种中都是一个严重问题。
