Lameness in Cattle: Causes and Consequences
Lameness is one of the most important health problems in dairy cattle. Involvement by veterinarians varies from diagnosis and treatment of lameness conditions to consultation with dairy owners and managers on procedures for treatment, control and prevention. 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,...
متن کاملAcute bovine laminitis: a new induction model using alimentary oligofructose overload.
Twelve dairy heifers were used to examine the clinical response of an alimentary oligofructose overload. Six animals were divided into 3 subgroups, and each was given a bolus dose of 13, 17, or 21 g/kg of oligofructose orally. The control group (n = 6) was sham-treated with tap water. Signs of lameness, cardiovascular function, and gastrointestinal function were monitored every 6 h during devel...
متن کاملStress and pain response after oligofructose induced-lameness in dairy heifers
Lameness is one of the most painful conditions that affects dairy cattle. This study was conducted to evaluate clinical signs and plasma concentration of several pain and stress biomarkers after oligofructose-induced lameness in dairy heifers. Lameness was induced using an oligofructose overload model in 12 non-pregnant heifers. Clinical parameters and blood samples were obtained at 48 and 24 h...
