Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to compare effects with conventional (needle and electroacupuncture, NAP) shockwave stimulation acupuncture points (SAP) on chronic multilimb lameness in horses. Study Design Randomized crossover block design; ten mature Standardbred mares (< 4/10) underwent 3-weekly point stimulations (NAP/SAP) selected the basis their uniform applicability. Grou...

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of weekly locomotion scoring and, thus, early detection and treatment of lame cows by a veterinarian on lameness prevalence, incidence, duration of lameness, fertility and milk yield on one dairy farm in Northern Germany. Cows were distributed to two groups. Cows in Group A (n = 99) with a locomotion score (LS) > 1 were examined and tre...

A nine months old Japanese domestic cat with a solitary bone cyst, which is a benign tumor-like lesion and is particularly uncommon in feline practice was referred. Radiographic examination revealed an expansive radiolucency in the distal metaphysis of the right ulna and pathologic fracture. The histological examination demonstrated immature osteogenesis consisting of osteoblasts surrounded by ...

The automated, reliable, and early detection of lameness is an important aim for the future development of modern dairy operations. One promising indicator of lameness is a change in the feeding behavior of a cow. In this study, the associations between feeding behavior and lameness were evaluated. A herd of 50 cows was investigated during the winter season in a freestall barn. Feeding behavior...

Lameness on dairy goat farms is a welfare concern and could negatively affect milk production. This study’s objective was to evaluate the effects of clinical lameness daily production goats. Between July 2019 June 2020, 11,847 test-day records were collected from 3145 goats three in New Zealand. Locomotion scoring used five-point system (0 4). The dataset split into two groups by lactation type...
