Abstract

Digital disease in cattle is common and the hind digit is most commonly involved (Fubini and Ducharme, 2004). Interdigital over growth in cattle results from proliferations of the subcutaneous tissue and is covered by the hairless integument between the claws (Tyagi and Singh, 2010). These proliferations are many a time get infected with pyogenic organisms producing foul smelling discharge and are converted to chronic ulcerative wound. Now a day’s Bone Marrow derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) were found successful for the treatment of chronic wound (Badiavas and Falanga, 2003).
