Umbilical inflammation in the calf represents a regularly occurring disease. The disinfection of the navel immediately after birth is therefore frequently recommended as a prophylactic measure. Within the frame of a literature search this study was to elucidate to what extent this recommendation is supported by scientific data.
Within the scope of a literature research, only studies were considered in which the efficacy of navel disinfection was investigated with regard to the prevention of umbilical infections. A clinical database was required.Results A total of merely 6 studies were identified that examined the effect of umbilical disinfection as a prophylactic measure. Of these, only one investigation was able to display the presence of a preventive effect.
All of the studies analyzed exhibited limitations in methodology. Based on this, no data is currently available clarifying whether navel disinfection in calves exerts a positive effect on umbilical health.
犊牛脐炎是一种常见疾病。因此，经常建议在出生后立即对肚脐进行消毒作为预防措施。在文献检索的框架内，本研究旨在阐明这一建议在多大程度上得到科学数据的支持。
在文献研究范围内，仅考虑那些研究肚脐消毒对预防脐部感染效果的研究。需要一个临床数据库。结果总共仅确定了6项研究，这些研究考察了脐部消毒作为预防措施的效果。其中，只有一项调查能够显示出预防效果的存在。
所有分析的研究在方法上都存在局限性。基于此，目前尚无数据表明犊牛肚脐消毒对脐部健康是否有积极影响。
