Changes in Claw Shape and Load after Hoof Trimming in Dairy Cattle Housed in a Free Stall System
Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 2005 乾乳期間中の乳牛49頭（初産19頭，2産14頭，3産以上16頭）に対して，分娩前2ヵ月で削蹄を行い，以降1ヵ月間隔で4ヵ月間に渡り前・後肢蹄形状，蹄角質硬度および蹄球糜爛スコアを調査した．供試牛は乾乳期間中には屋外パドック，分娩後1週からはフリーストール牛舎で飼養されていた．また，削蹄直後と削蹄後4ヵ月では前・後肢内・外蹄荷重を計測した．削蹄後2ヵ月で後肢外蹄蹄踵高が有意（P＜0.05）に増加，前・後肢内蹄蹄尖角度が有意（P＜0.05）に減少し，削蹄後3～4ヵ月で外蹄に対する内蹄負面面積の割合は後肢では有意（P＜0.05）に減少したが，前肢では有意な変化は認められなかった．削蹄後4ヵ月で外蹄に対する内蹄の荷重割合は後肢では有意（P＜0.05）に減少し，前肢では有意（P＜0.05）に増加した ...
