To determine the prevalence of lameness as a function season (summer vs winter), housing type (free stalls tie stalls), and stall surface (sand any other surface) among lactating dairy cows in Wisconsin.Epidemiologic survey.3,621 30 herds.Herds were visited once during summer winter, locomotion score ranging from 1 (no gait abnormality) to 4 (severe lameness) was assigned all cows. Cows with 3 or considered be clinically lame.Mean +/- SD herd 21.1 10.5% 23.9 10.7% winter; these values...
A system of hygiene scoring is described which charts the distribution manure over three areas body; udder, lower legs, and upper leg flank. The practical relevance quantifying in relation to prevalence mastitis lameness. Aspects freestall tiestall design impact lying times are reviewed link between cow comfort lameness explored.
