چکیده
Lameness in dairy cattle causes crippling economic losses to the industry. With up to 52% (average 20-25%) of high-production intensively-managed dairy cows becoming lame each year the loss in milk production is devastating for producers (Clarkson et al. 1996; Green et al. 2002; Warnick et al. 2001). The physiopathological patterns reviewed in this paper also impinge on reproductive performance and accounts for the strong correlation that had been shown, in recent years, to exist between lameness and reproductive inefficiency. Lameness is caused by many diseases being the clinical manifestation of an animals attempt to relieve pain. Pain causes stress and, therefore, the attendant suffering is a highly important animal welfare issue (Whay et al. 1998; Whay et al. 2003). During the past few years there has been a burgeoning of research reports resulting in an improved understanding of the physiopathological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of foot disorders in cattle. Research has focused in particular on a condition or syndrome called subclinical laminitis (SCL). Laminitis is term that is a scientifically inaccurate description of this disorder as is the recently suggested term “claw horn disruption” (CHD) (Hoblet & Weiss, 2001).
