Hoof Overgrowth in Saanen Goats: A Study on Relationship Between Hoof Overgrowth, White Line Disease, Lameness and Body Condition

open access: yes
Hoof diseases are very common causes of lameness and hoof health, is very important factor for productivity and yield capacity in the small ruminants. This study was conducted in 97 Saanen goats aged 12-18 months, and weighing between 30-40 kg.

Programmable Fabric‐Based Soft Pneumatic Actuators for Wearables: A Review

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review summarizes recent advances in fabric soft pneumatic actuators (FSPAs), emphasizing programmable design strategies, diverse actuation deformation modes, material selection, and emerging applications. We highlight how geometric constraints, material distribution, and specialized fabrication methods govern longitudinal, bending, torsional, and

Hoof cortisol variation in calves during the neonatal period.

open access: yes, 2013
The neonatal period is a critical phase of the animal’s life cycle. The hoof in the neonatal period undergoes significant changes. The claw incorporates endogenous hormones that passively diffuse from capillaries to the hoof matrix during keratinisation ...

Small Ruminant Hoof Inspection as Animal Welfare Indicator: Gran Canaria Study.

open access: yes, 2023
The care of the hooves in small ruminants often goes unnoticed, and along with most of the housing systems in which these animals live (poorly adapted), welfare and productivity are reduced.

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 1002-1025, June 2026.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Microbial influence on the formation and subsequent changes of vertebrate tracks: field experiments on present‐day coastal sediments

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 1121-1147, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The presence of microbial mats is often invoked to explain the good preservation of vertebrate tracks, because they can cover and biostabilize such structures. However, microbial influence on the sediment properties when the track is made and on the track characteristics has not been so thoroughly analysed.

Influence of biotin supplementation on hoof growth and integrity in long-fed F1 Wagyu/Black Angus feedlot steers of known genotype

open access: yes, 2008
Biotin was supplemented at three levels (0, 10 and 20 mg/steer.day) to 108 F1 Wagyu/Black Angus steers of known genotype, which were fed a wheat-based ration, to evaluate the effect on hoof growth, wear and integrity within feedlot pens.

Genetic analysis of hoof traits

open access: yes, 1994
Heritabilities of heel erosion and laminitis were more than 10% and improvement by traditional quantitative methods should be possible. Ranges of incidences of hoof traits varied from.6% to 2.1% (interdigital hyperplasia) to higher than 50% (heel erosion)
