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.

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).

Effect of Presence of Claw Lesions in Heifers Prior to First Parturition on Risk of Developing Claw Lesions during Lactation

American Association of Bovine Practitioners Conference Proceedings, 2004
According to the 2002 National Animal Health Monitoring Systems (NAHMS) survey, 16% of cattle are culled due to lameness. However, this survey may underestimate this number, as cows culled for low production (19%) or reproductive failure (27%) may actually have been lame.

Claw trimming routines in relation to claw lesions, claw shape and lameness in Norwegian dairy herds housed in tie stalls and free stalls

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2006
We assessed the prevalence of claw lesions, abnormal claw shapes and lameness in relation to most-recent claw-trimming routines in Norwegian dairy herds housed in tie stalls and free stalls. Equal-sized groups were randomly sampled from both tie and free stalls in each of the three most animal-dense regions in Norway.

MONTEGGIA LESION IN AN ASIAN SMALL-CLAWED OTTER (AONYX CINEREA)

Journal of Zoo and Wildlife Medicine, 2013
A 10-yr-old female Asian small-clawed otter (Aonyx cinerea) presented with a history of right forelimb lameness. Antebrachial radiographs revealed a Monteggia lesion, classified by cranial radial head luxation and distal diaphyseal ulnar fracture. Open reduction with placement of an ulnar-radial positional screw was performed.

Correlations of measurements of subclinical claw horn lesions in dairy cattle

Veterinary Record, 2001
Measurements were made of the extent of sole and white line lesions on the claws of 115 Holstein‐Friesian cows on at least three and at most 16 occasions, and some cows were followed up to their third lactation. All the measurements were made between 12 weeks before calving and 45 weeks after calving.

Effect of Forage Type on Claw Horn Lesion Development in Dairy Heifers

The Veterinary Journal, 2003
In a continuous design study the claw health of 54 Holstein-Friesian heifer calves was recorded from three months of age until six months after first calving (30 months of age). Pre-calving heifers were either fed a wet, fermented grass silage-based diet (WF) or a dry, unfermented straw and concentrate based diet (DU), apart from grazing during their ...

Control and prevention of lameness associated with claw lesions in dairy cows

Livestock Science, 2013
Dairy cow lameness is a serious animal welfare issue. It is also a significant cause of economic losses reducing reproductive efficiency and milk production and increasing culling rates. Despite its undeniable importance, lameness has not received the attention it deserves from the agricultural scientific community and its incidence appears to be on ...
