Influence of Soft or Hard Floors before and after First Calving on Dairy Heifer Locomotion, Claw and Leg Health

Animals, 2015
Claw health, an important dairy cow welfare parameter, may be affected by early-life foot/leg stresses. To investigate this, groups of pregnant heifers were allocated to deep straw bedding (Soft) or cubicles (Hard), both with scraped concrete feeding ...

Endoscopic Plantar Partial Sesamoidectomy for the Management of Metatarsalgia of the First Metatarsal Head After Arthrodesis of the First Metatarsophalangeal Joint

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract First metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis has been used to treat various pathologies of the great toe with good clinical outcome. First metatarsal head metatarsalgia can occur after first metatarsophalangeal arthrodesis. Surgery is indicated if conservative measures cannot alleviate the symptoms.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

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 ...

Effects of Biotin Supplementation on Performance and Claw Lesions on a Commercial Dairy Farm [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2003
A controlled 14-mo field trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of biotin supplementation on hoof lesions, milk production, and reproductive performance in a commercial dairy herd. One hundred seventy cows were studied and supplemented with either 0 or 20 mg/d of biotin by computer feeder.

Treatment protocols for claw horn lesions and their impact on lameness recovery, pain sensitivity, and lesion severity in moderately lame primiparous dairy cows

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2022
This study aims to investigate the effects of routine treatment protocols for claw horn disruptive lesions (CHDL) on lameness recovery rates, pain sensitivity, and lesion severity in moderately lame primiparous cows.

Cell‐Based Micro/Nanorobots: From Living Carriers to Living Therapeutic Specialists

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Cell‐based micro/nanorobots integrate evolutionarily acquired biological intelligence with engineered capabilities, offering new opportunities for precision medicine in vivo. However, the complex physiological environments of different organs pose significant challenges to their clinical translation.

Reduced test-day milk fat percentage in cows diagnosed with claw horn lesions during routine claw trimming [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2011
The objective of this study was to investigate whether cows diagnosed with claw horn lesions during routine claw trimming had an altered milk fat percentage on test days preceding the diagnosis, compared with cows without such lesions. Data included date of trimming, cow number, type, and location of claw lesions recorded by a professional claw trimmer

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.

Compromised DNA replication in gut cells underlies sensitivity to genotoxic stress in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...
