Claw Hardness of Dairy Cows: Relationship to Water Content and Claw Lesions [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2004
Lameness of dairy cows is a major welfare and economic problem. Degree of hardness of claws may influence chances for injury or for claw lesions, and exposure of claws to moisture may make them soft. To assess the relationship among hardness of the claw horn, quantity and rate of absorption of water, and incidence of claw lesions, 4 experiments were ...

Development of Claw Traits and Claw Lesions in Dairy Cows Kept on Different Floor Systems [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2005
Several claw shape measurements, horn hardness, and horn growth and wear were recorded monthly at 12 dairy farms to investigate the effect of floor type and changes in these traits over time. Herds were either housed on a slatted floor (SL), solid concrete floor (SC), grooved floor (GR), or on a straw yard (SY).

Claw lesions in dairy cattle: Methods for assessment ofsole and white line lesions

Veterinary Journal, 1998
Claw lesions are a major cause of lameness in dairy cattle. Analysis of the development of lesions is aided by numerical representation of their significance. Using data from observations on 31 heifers at 9 weeks post-calving, 5 lesion scoring method were compared.

Factors influencing claw lesion scoring in sows

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2020
Claw lesions have a multifactorial origin and may affect sow welfare and farm profitability. However, estimating the precise impact is hampered by several factors that interfere with the accuracy of claw lesion assessment. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of observer, scoring condition and claw cleanliness on claw lesion scoring ...

Analysis of influencing factors of boar claw lesion and lameness

Animal Science Journal, 2018
AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the factors affecting boar claw lesions and lameness. A total of 1299 boars were examined for claw lesions and lameness, including 788 boars reared in individual pens with solid concreted floor (IPS) and 511 boars raised in individual stalls with slatted floor (ISS).

Assessment of lameness and claw lesions in sows

Livestock Science, 2013
Abstract Claw lesions and lameness are very common disorders in sows. Both conditions have a negative impact on the welfare and production results of breeding sows, causing important losses to the pig sector. The possibility to recognise, treat and prevent these disorders depends on the availability of reliable and valid assessment methods.

Field study of hind limb claw lesions and claw measures in sows

Animal Science Journal, 2014
AbstractWe investigated the associations of hind limb claw lesions with claw measures and reproductive performance of sows on a commercial breeding farm. We used a five‐point scale (score of 0–4) for each hind limb claw region to generate a claw lesion score (CLS).
