Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and prevalence of lameness in dairy cattle

TL;DR: The prevalence measured at a single visit in midsummer or midwinter was significantly correlated with the mean prevalence over the whole corresponding period and may be useful as an assessment of the extent of lameness in a herd and the efficacy of control measures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of lameness in dairy cattle: description and analysis of foot lesions

TL;DR: Subjective assessments showed that sandcrack, penetration of the sole by foreign bodies and interdigital necrobacillosis were associated with the most severe cases of lameness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observational study of temperature, moisture, pH and bacteria in straw bedding, and faecal consistency, cleanliness and mastitis in cows in four dairy herds.

TL;DR: A study of four dairy farms showed that much of the straw stored for bedding was too wet (over 15 per cent moisture content), and most of the beds, including their top surfaces, were damp (above 75 per cent relative humidity).
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of lameness in dairy cattle: the influence of cubicles and indoor and outdoor walking surfaces.

TL;DR: A survey of cubicles and indoor and outdoor walking surfaces on 37 farms served by four veterinary practices in Somerset, Cheshire, Wirral and west Wales was carried out in 1989 to 1991 and found surfaces in silage bays were too rough and those in other sites were too smooth.
