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.
