Meaning of "farcy" in English

"Farcy" is a term used historically in veterinary medicine to refer to an advanced form of glanders in horses and other equine animals. It is characterized by the presence of ulcers, nodules, and an infectious discharge. The disease primarily affects the skin, but it can also impact a horse's respiratory system. Farcy is caused by the bacterium Burkholderia mallei. Historically, this disease was significant in horses used for transportation and agricultural work. Today, thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine and sanitary conditions, farcy is rare in developed countries.
