Investigating the impact of 1 hour of daily outdoor access on the gait and hoof health of nonclinically lame cows housed in a movement-restricted environment

JDS Communications
Tiestalls, known for restrictive housing, can reduce cows' locomotor skills over time. While outdoor access benefits clinically lame cows, its effect on nonclinically lame cows is less known. This study evaluated 1 h daily outdoor access on gait and hoof

Postcranial anatomy and osteohistology of an early prozostrodont cynodont from the Upper Triassic of Brazil

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prozostrodon brasiliensis, a probainognathian cynodont of the clade Prozostrodontia, is recognized as a key taxon for understanding the origin of Mammaliaformes and mammals. Despite detailed investigations of its cranial anatomy, the postcranial skeleton has received comparatively less attention.

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

Efficacy of low level Gallium-Arsenide laser therapy in conjunction with therapeutic hoof trimming for the treatment of sole ulcer in dairy cattle

Journal of Veterinary and Animal Sciences
The study was conducted in postpartum lactating dairy cows to evaluate the healing of sole ulcers using Gallium-Arsenide (Ga-As) laser therapy in combination with therapeutic hoof trimming. Thirty-five clinically lame cattle were examined, of which seven

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.

Measuring Claw Conformation in Cattle: Assessing the Agreement between Manual and Digital Measurement

Animals, 2015
Five measurements of claw conformation (toe angle, claw height, claw width, toe length and abaxial groove length) taken directly from the hoof were compared with the measurements taken from digital images of the same claws.

Comprehensive Analyses of the Bacterial Population in Non-Healing Claw Lesions of Dairy Cattle

Animals, 2022
Non-healing claw lesions (NHCLs) are a newly characterized disorder affecting the deep dermis of the hoof in dairy cattle. Although NHCLs are thought to be associated with bovine digital dermatitis (BDD), their precise etiology is not yet understood.
