Measuring Lameness in Sows
The movement away from sow gestation stalls to group housing presents several major welfare issues from the standpoints of facility design and sow management. In choosing the type of sow gestation housing, it will be important to adopt the system with the most advantages and to be able to assess factors that will impact on the sows’ welfare, longevity in the herd and thereby the producer’s econ...
متن کاملIdentifying, Treating and Preventing Lameness in Sows
Introduction Lameness is generally defined as “incapable of normal locomotion, deviating from the normal gate [1].” Lameness can result from damage to any of the structures involved in locomotion including the bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and blood supply of the shoulder, hock, stifle, foot, toe or hoof.

متن کاملConformation of hind legs and lameness in Danish Holstein heifers.
Lameness causes major financial losses and welfare problems in dairy herds. Prevention of foot lesions may suffice in the majority of lameness cases. The objectives of this longitudinal study were to describe the dynamics and associations between abnormal hind leg conformation, asymmetric claws, lameness, and foot lesions in 122 Danish Holstein heifers from an average of 41 d before first calvi...
متن کاملDirac's minimum degree condition restricted to claws
Let G be a graph on n t> 3 vertices. Dirac's minimum degree condition is the condition that all vertices of G have degree at least in. This is a well-known sufficient condition for the existence of a Hamilton cycle in G. We give related sufficiency conditions for the existence of a Hamilton cycle or a perfect matching involving a restriction of Dirac's minimum degree condition to certain subset...
متن کاملRisk factors of lameness in sows in England.
Lameness in pigs is a major welfare concern and one of the most commonly reported reasons for premature culling of breeding sows. In this study, the prevalence of lameness in sows was estimated using data from 76 pig breeding units in England and risk factors associated with the occurrence of lameness were examined. The prevalence of lameness in sows was 4.5% (farm median 5.0%, range 0-40%), wi...
