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.

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.

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.

An experimental model for studying claw lesions in growing female pigs [PDF]

Livestock Science, 2016
Problems with claw lesions leading to lameness are a growing concern in pig production. However, the causes and development of claw lesions are poorly understood and studies on prevention of claw lesion problems in gifts and sows are limited.This study tested a new experimental model which facilitates evaluation of the impact of different risk factors ...

Impact of lameness and claw lesions in sows on welfare, health and production

Livestock Science, 2020
Abstract The aim of this paper is to review existing literature concerning the impact of lameness and claw lesions on welfare, health and production of sows. When using the five freedoms, a common method to conceptualize animal welfare, to assess the impact of lameness, it appears that lameness as a single disease, may affect all of the freedoms ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

An update on the treatment of claw horn lesions in cattle

Cattle Practice, 2014
Lameness in dairy cattle remains at unacceptably high levels. The claw horn lesions (sole haemorrhage/ sole ulceration and white line disease) are two of the most important causes of lameness in the UK. Prompt identification and early and effective treatment to reduce the period over which animals are lame is one of the corner stones of reducing ...
