Lameness in Beef Cattle: UK Farmers' Perceptions, Knowledge, Barriers, and Approaches to Treatment and Control

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Lameness in the beef industry has received little attention in the UK, despite the fact that it is a well-recognised problem in the dairy industry. The aims of this study were to (i) compare UK beef farmers' estimates of lameness prevalence to that of ...

Can lameness prevalence in dairy herds be predicted from farmers' reports of their motivation to control lameness and barriers to doing so? An observational study from New Zealand

Journal of Dairy Science
: Understanding what motivates and prevents behavioral change in farmers is a critical step in disease control in dairy cattle. A total of 101 New Zealand dairy farmers across 8 regions were randomly enrolled into a cross-sectional study to investigate ...

Milk lipidome alterations in first-lactation dairy cows with lameness: A biomarker identification approach using untargeted lipidomics and machine learning

Journal of Dairy Science
: Lameness, defined as an impaired gait, impacts cow welfare and performance, compromising future health and production, and increasing culling risk. Untargeted milk lipidomics, together with the use of machine learning methods, have shown promise in ...

Machine learning approaches for the prediction of lameness in dairy cows

Animal, 2021
Lameness is one of the costliest health problems, as well as a welfare concern in dairy cows. However, it is difficult to detect cows with possible lameness, or the ones that are at risk of becoming lame e.g. in the next week or so.

Dairy producers' awareness, perceptions, and barriers to early detection and treatment of lameness on dairy farms: A qualitative focus group study

Journal of Dairy Science
: Lameness is a common and painful condition, making it an important issue in the dairy industry. Whereas moderate and severe cases of lameness are likely to be noticed and dealt with by most dairy producers, mild cases are often overlooked. The barriers

Influence of body condition score and ultrasound-determined thickness of body fat deposit in holstein-friesian cows on the risk of lameness developing [PDF]

Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017
The aim of this study was to examine the correlations between ultrasound measurement of thickness of fat over the tuber ischiadicum (TFT), body condition scoring (BCS) and the risk of lameness developing in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows. The 100 cows were

Problematic Internet Use in Frontotemporal Dementia: A Case Series

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study investigated problematic internet use (PIU) among 61 patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) compared to a cohort of 354 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's dementia. PIU was identified in 22.9% of FTD patients compared to only 0.8% of AD patients (p < 0.001). Behaviors included compulsive social
