A total of 198 cases of claw diseases exhibiting different lesions in different animals were microbiologically examined. The incidence of aerobic and facultative anaerobic bacteria isolated from different claw diseases were mainly E.coli (21.71%) , Ps. aeruginosa (25.75%), Pr. mirabilis (24.74%), A. Pyogenes (65.15%), B. anthracoides (46.46%), S. aureus (42,92%), S. epidermidis (21.71%), S.saprophyticus (21.71%) and Strep. faecalis (18,68%). Although, the incidence of obligatory anaerobic bacteria isolated were mainly F. necrophorum (65.65%), Bact. melaninogenicus (50%), Bact. nodosus (9.59%), Anaerobic streptococci (37.87%) adn C. perfringens type A (46.96%), The isolated fungi were mainly Mucor Spp. (40.4%), Candida spp. (16.16%) . Penicillium spp. (6.06%) , Rhizopus spp. (6.56%) and Aspergillus spp. (9.09%).
