The inter- and intra-observer reliability of a locomotion scoring scale for sheep [PDF]

, 2008
A seven point locomotion scoring scale, ranging from 0 = normal locomotion to 6 = unable to stand or move, has been developed. To test the between and within observer reliability of the scale, 65 movie clips of sheep with normal and varying degrees of ...
