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).

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).

Correlation of a lameness scoring system and claw lesion [PDF]

Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd, 2018
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between lameness scoring and clinical findings. The lameness scoring and a gait assessment took place during drying off, the first week after calving and two months after calving in 29 lame and 27 free of lameness cows. In between the farmer scored the lamness.
