The Effect of Maintenance Claw Trimming on the Prevalence of Claw Lesions and the Need for Therapeutic Claw Trimming [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2003 A 2-year experiment on the effect of claw trimming on the prevalence of lameness and claw lesions was performed in 77 dairy herds (3,498 cows). Cows within each herd were blocked according to breed, parity and stage of lactation and allocated to receive one of two treatments: autumn trimming (n=2,015), or no autumn trimming (n=2,432).

The Effect of Claw Lesions and Claw Infections on Lameness in Loose Housing of Pregnant Sows [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 1995 During a 12-month period lameness, claw lesions and claw infections were studied in 15 herds with loose housing of pregnant sows on partly slatted concrete floors.
