Risk Factors Associated with Foot Lameness in Dairy Cattle and a Suggested Approach for Lameness Reduction
Lameness in cattle is a clinical sign with a multifactorial aetiology. A focused programme for lameness reduction requires that farmers and their advisors recognise the main types of lameness occurring in cattle on their farm(s) and know the seasonal and lactational patterns of lameness and the management and environment of these cattle. In this paper we propose an approach to targeting cattle ...
متن کاملObjective Measures of Lameness Evaluation
Subjective evaluation of the horse in motion is the standard of practice for detection and evaluation of lameness in horses. Techniques for subjective evaluation are first learned in veterinary school and later developed by collegial transfer of knowledge, study of standard veterinary texts, and by experience. Nothing is better than experience at improving this skill. How one looks and what one...

In large herds, the sheer number of lame cows is beyond what most veterinarians can cope with on a daily basis. Therefore, throughout much...
متن کاملLameness in Cow/Calf and Feedyard Cattle
The incidence of lameness in beef cows on pasture is generally quite low. Grass pastures are normal walking surfaces for cattle. They provide comfortable forgiving footing that offers traction, thus preventing injuries from slips and falls. Softer walking surfaces also reduce the mechanical factors that encourage claw horn overgrowth and altered weight-bearing that are important predisposing ca...
متن کاملFactors associated with lameness in dairy cattle
An intervention trial by Hedges and others (2001) studying 1109 cow-years, in which every lame cow was examined and recorded by a veterinary surgeon, determined the four main causes of lameness to be sole ulcers, white line disease, digital dermatitis and interdigital necrobacillosis (‘foul’ or ‘foot rot’) (see graph on the right). Sole ulcers and white line disease are defects of the hoof and,...
