Evaluation of a novel training course for hoof trimmers to participate in a Swiss national cattle claw health monitoring programme

Schweiz Arch Tierheilkd, 2021
The main goal of the resources project «Healthy claws - the foundation for the future» is to establish a Swiss national claw health monitoring programme for cattle, similar to what has already been established in other countries (e. g. Finland, Sweden).

The influence of hoof trimming on claw measurements in dairy cattle

Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1995
The main objective of hoof trimming is to restore the foot to its correct form and accurate weight bearing surfaces (Blowey, 1993). Furthermore, trimming is applied as a means to cure diseases and lameness of the foot. Hoof care for shaping up the foot is usually carried out either by time - for example every cow once a year - or by necessity - all ...

Association between hoof trimming frequency in primiparous cows and hoof health and survival in second lactation [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science
Lameness, mostly resulting from claw lesions, causes major welfare problems in the dairy industry. One way to prevent claw lesions is hoof trimming, but the overall effect and the optimal hoof trimming frequency are unknown.

Survey of veterinarians and hoof trimmers on methods applied to treat claw lesions in dairy cattle

The Bovine Practitioner, 2013
A survey was administered to members of the American Association of Bovine Practitioners (AABP) and the Hoof Trimmers Association (HTA) to identify various treatment methods for claw horn lesions. A total of 345 people responded to the survey, of which 196 identified themselves as members of AABP, 111 as members of HTA, 9 as having membership in both ...

Incorporation of L‐ ⁷⁵ Se‐cystine in tissue fragments from the matrix of the hoof and the claw — A tool for studying the pathogenesis of laminitis?

Equine Veterinary Journal, 1985
Summary An in vitro method has been designed and used to study the incorporation of 75 Se‐cystine into matrix fragments from hooves and claws of healthy horses and cattle. Tissue fragments from the zone of keratinisation were incubated

Rate of keratinization of the wall segment of the hoof and its relation to width and structure of the zona alba (white line) with respect to claw disease in cattle

American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1996
Abstract Objectives To determine contribution of the wall segment of bovine cattle hoof to horn production, and relevance of structural differences of the wall segment and its horn production rate to claw disease. Design Epidermis and papillary body of the wall segment were examined by mesoscopy, light microscopy, and transmission and scanning ...

Treatment modalities for claw horn lesions and their effects on locomotion scores, gait properties, lesion progression, and nociceptive threshold in dairy cows: A systematic review

Research in Veterinary Science
This systematic review presents scientific evidence on treatment modalities for claw horn lesions (CHLs ) in dairy cows, and their efficacy in restoring normal gait, resolution of claw lesions, and improving nociceptive threshold. A literature search was

Elastic properties of hoof horn on different positions in the bovine claw.

DTW. Deutsche tierarztliche Wochenschrift, 2005
Hind claws of 15 adult, sound Fleckvieh cows were used for material analysis. The elastic modulus was tested in tension tests according to EN ISO 527 and ASTM D 638-03 at a universal material testing machine. Samples were taken from different segments of the bovine claw to find the differences in material properties. Samples orientation was parallel to
