Nail, Claw, Hoof and Horn Keratin
1986Most land mammals produce in addition to hair another form of hard keratin — nail, claw or hoof — and occasionally a third form, either horn or quill. Although the so-called horny keratins — nail, claw, hoof, horn and quill — are similar to hair in ultrastructure and composition, their functions are very different.

Computerised claw trimming database programs as the basis for monitoring hoof health in dairy herds
Veterinary Journal, 2013Regular documentation and recording of udder health, reproduction and metabolic status are common practices on dairy farms. However, recording of claw health is less commonly undertaken. Computerised claw trimming documentation and analysis programs have been developed in Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Spain, United States, and ...

Role of Hoxc genes in the development of the limb integumentary organ (nail, claw, or hoof)
The FASEB Journal, 2018 The developing vertebrate limb has long proved as an excellent system for studying the mechanisms involved in pattern formation and morphogenesis and more recently in transcriptional regulation and morphological evolution. To elucidate the stage‐specific expression profiles of the components of the developing limb, we have ...

The influence of hoof trimming on claw measurements in dairy cattle
Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science, 1995The 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 ...
