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).
