Pig Health - Lameness in Breeding Stock

چکیده
Infectious arthritis of which Erysipelas and Mycoplasma hyosynoviae are the most common causes. Septic laminitis bush foot due to bacterial infection. Physical lameness associated with deformed or damaged cartilage (variably termed osteochondrosis, osteochondritis, dyschondroplasia or degenerative joint disease (DJD)) and bony pathology leading to weakness and fracture (osteomalacia). There can be overlap in both underlying causes and pathogenesis of these two conditions.

متن کاملDevelopment of a computer vision system to monitor pig locomotion
Avoiding lameness or leg weakness in pig production is crucial to reduce cost, improve animal welfare and meat quality. Detection of lameness detection by the use of vision systems may assist the farmer or breeder to obtain a more accurate and robust measurement of lameness. The paper presents a low-cost vision system for measuring the locomotion of moving pigs based on motion detection, frame-...
