The purpose of this scientific work was to develop an original formulation of an eco-friendly ointment based on birch bark tar and evaluate its therapeutic efficacy in the treatment of interdigital dermatitis of non-contagious etiology in the area of the distal extremities in cattle in a livestock complex. The recipe for an ointment based on birch bark tar was developed by professors of the Moscow State University. N.P.
