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 ...

Structural and Mechanical Dynamics of Polymer Membranes Across Multilength Scales
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Distinct surface‐to‐bulk mechanical contrasts in polymer membranes were unveiled, highlighting the need to probe both regions to fully capture their functional behavior. By integrating in situ SAXS–WAXS with AFM‐based nanomechanics, nanodomain‐level heterogeneity and real‐time structural transformations induced by thermal and mechanical stimuli were ...

Effect of rubber mats and perforation in the lying area on claw and limb lesions of fattening pigs
Animal, 2018 Claw and leg lesions are frequently observed in finishing pigs and are likely to compromise their welfare. Providing softer than the usual concrete flooring may reduce both the frequency and severity of these lesions.

Characterization of histopathologic lesions among pigs with overgrown claws
Journal of Swine Health and Production, 2015 Objective: To characterize histologic lesions in pigs with and without claw overgrowth. Materials and methods: Hindlimb claws from a subset of 24 sows that were part of a larger field study were selected because of claw deformities associated with overgrowth and change in gait.

Dorsal Raphe VIP Neurons Are Critical for Survival‐Oriented Vigilance
Advanced Science, EarlyView.DRNVIP neurons in mice and primates are strategically positioned to influence the central extended amygdala via feedback loops. They regulate the excitability of PKC‐δ neurons in the ovBNST and CeA through glutamate release. Their ablation heightens activity in these regions, disrupts active‐phase sleep architecture, enhances risk assessment behaviors ...

Causes, Risk Factors, and Prevention of Laminitis and Related Claw Lesions [PDF]
Acta Veterinaria Scandinavica, 2003 Introduction Laminitis is an inflammation of the laminar corium of the hoof wall. In general, the term laminitis is used to describe a systemic disease affecting not only the hooves, but also the general condition of the animal. Researchers believe the inflammation is primarily associated with a dysfunction of the digital vasculatory system that ...
