Supporting the development and adoption of automatic lameness detection systems in dairy cattle : effect of system cost and performance on potential market shares [PDF]

, 2017
Most automatic lameness detection system prototypes have not yet been commercialized, and are hence not yet adopted in practice. Therefore, the objective of this study was to simulate the effect of detection performance (percentage missed lame cows and ...

Vertical movement symmetry of the withers in horses with induced forelimb and hindlimb lameness at trot [PDF]

, 2018
Background The main criteria for lameness assessment in horses are head movement for forelimb lameness and pelvic movement for hindlimb lameness. However, compensatory head nod in horses with primary hindlimb lameness is a well‐known phenomenon.
