A Longitudinal Study of Lameness Incidence and Association with Animal-Based Welfare Measures in Dairy Cows

Pertanika Journal of Tropical Agricultural Science, 2021
The objective of this study was to investigate time to lameness event, prevalence of claw lesions, and their associations with animal-based welfare measures (ABWMs) in dairy cows. A total of 120 non-lame lactating cows (n = 30 each from four intensive dairy farms) having no claw lesion were enrolled in the study.

Preventive Hoof Trimming and Animal-Based Welfare Measures Influence the Time to First Lameness Event and Hoof Lesion Prevalence in Dairy Cows [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: The objectives of this study were to, (1) investigate the impact of the Dutch five-step hoof trimming (HT) technique on time to lameness and hoof lesion prevalence in grazing (GR) and non-grazing (NGR) dairy cows, and (2) determine the association between potential benefits of HT and animal-based welfare measures during lactation.

Parasites and lameness in domestic animals

Veterinary Research Communications
Abstract Lameness is a significant welfare issue in domestic animals, and it may also result in productivity losses in farm animals. While traumatic injuries are the primary cause of lameness in animals, parasitic infections may be a potential factor in cases where the underlying cause of lameness remains unclear. Parasites may cause lameness
