Abstract:

AbstractThe aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of farmer recognition and reporting of lameness in their sheep flock when compared with the prevalence of lameness observed by a researcher. Thirty-five sheep farms were visited. Farmers were asked for estimates of the prevalence of lameness in 2008, in the flock and in one group of sheep that was inspected by the researcher the same day. These estimates were then compared with the researcher's estimate of lameness. All farmers were able to recognise lame sheep but they slightly under reported the prevalence of lameness in the group sele

Abstract:

Work on lameness has been focused on meat sheep but there is limited information on dairy sheep. Lameness is a welfare problem, which reduces productivity and it is a major problem in most sheep keeping countries (Winter, 2008). The latter is important for Greece which is ranked second (after Italy) in milk sheep production in Europe (deRancourt et al. 2006). The objective of this study was twofold. Firstly, to characterise the farming system in a representative sample of dairy sheep flocks, and to categorise them in certain clusters in relation to predisposing factors of lameness. Secondly, t

Abstract:

Lameness is a major health problem in sheep flocks worldwide. It is associated with reduced productivity and welfare of lame animals within a flock. The consequences of lameness on production have been studied in meat and wool producing breeds, but the available research studies are limited. In dairy breeds of sheep the problem has not been investigated. Lameness can be the result of many causes, but it is mostly associated with foot lesions. With the exception of systemic diseases, a number of predisposing factors seem to dictate the epidemiology of lameness. Here, these factors are grouped i

Abstract:

Lameness in sheep is the biggest cause of concern regarding poor health and welfare among sheep-producing countries. Best practice for lameness relies on rapid treatment, yet there are no objective measures of lameness detection. Accelerometers and gyroscopes have been widely used in human activity studies and their use is becoming increasingly common in livestock. In this study, we used 23 datasets (10 non-lame and 13 lame sheep) from an accelerometer- and gyroscope-based ear sensor with a sampling frequency of 16 Hz to develop and compare algorithms that can differentiate lameness within thr

Abstract:

Hoof disorders in small ruminants pose significant challenges to animal welfare and farm productivity. This study presents the first attempt to determine the prevalence of lameness and hoof disorders and their associated risk factors in goat and sheep farms in Selangor, Malaysia. Locomotion scores were collected from 226 animals (126 sheep and 100 goats) across 10 farms. A hoof examination was conducted, and hoof lesions were identified through detailed photographic evaluation. On-farm assessments and interviews were conducted to gather information on management practices from the farms. Data

Abstract:

Prompt treatment of individually lame sheep with parenteral and topical antibiotics without foot trimming remains the recommended best practice for footrot control, and is considered appropriate and justified antimicrobial use. Several antibiotic groups are licensed for footrot in sheep; all are effective but it would be prudent to use certain classes as a first-line treatment. Culling sheep with repeated lameness, separating at time of treatment and preserving the flock lameness status through quarantine procedures can also have a significant impact on lameness prevalence.

Since 2004, the prevalence of lameness in sheep flocks in England has reduced as farmers have adopted evidence-based management practices to control lameness. In 2011, the Farm Animal Welfare Council proposed a target prevalence of <2% lameness in sheep by 2021. This study investigated whether that target had been achieved and determined which practices were associated with prevalence of lameness. A postal questionnaire was sent to 1000 randomly selected farmers to investigate the prevalence of lameness and management practices in 2022. The geometric mean prevalence of lameness was <2% i

During the last twenty years, considerable research efforts have recognized the consequences of foot‐related lameness primarily in cattle, and meat and wool sheep. Despite the lack of extensive epidemiological studies, field observations and isolated research reports in dairy sheep have suggested that the problem might be more severe in semi-intensive and intensive farming systems. Footrot, contagious ovine digital dermatitis, ovine interdigital dermatitis, white line disease, and pedal joint abscess are the most common causes of foot-related lameness.

Lameness in housed dairy goats is a major cause of poor welfare but our understanding of the factors driving lameness in housed goats is much less than it is than in sheep or cattle. This article summarises the research on two key aspects: the importance of locomotion scoring as a method of detecting lame goats and categorising and defining the non-infectious hoof horn lesions seen in goats. It then sets out the areas in which more information is needed to significantly reduce the impact of lameness on the productivity and welfare of housed dairy goats.

This study examined the effects of intramuscular clodronate disodium (CLO) on bone turnover, serum bone biomarkers (SBB), bone mineral density (BMD), bone microstructure, biomechanical testing (BT), and cartilage glycosaminoglycan content (GAG) over 165 days. Forty juvenile sheep (253 ± 6 days of age) were divided into four groups: Control (saline), T0 (0.6 mg/kg CLO on day 0), T84 (0.6 mg/kg CLO on day 84), and T0+84 (0.6 mg/kg CLO on days 0 and 84). Sheep were exer

Abstract:

In Excellent Sheep, William Deresiewicz describes ‘elite’ higher education as one in which students perform excellently, but only in a spirit of compliance with assigned tasks. The depth of this problem – which has a long pedigree in philosophy – is such that an advantage might be found in non-‘elite’ and even manifestly lame education. This advantage is illustrated through the story of a low point in my teaching career, in which affects of anger, shame and disappointment erupted into the classroom. Because these negative feelings can make it possible for us to discover that we actually do car

SummaryFifty healthy adult Suffolk cross sheep were evaluated as a research animal for cemented total hip replacement. The surgical technique, peri-operative care, and long-term evaluation of the animals is reported. A modular cemented canine hip replacement system was used in this project. Postoperative fractures of the operated femur were observed in five animals. Two sheep developed septic loosening of the acetabular components. Two sheep experienced immediate postoperative luxations. One animal developed an acetabular fracture and infection. Five sheep exhibited mild lameness of the operat

Abstract Objective To describe the appositional augmentation of a complete Achilles tendon rupture in Ouessant sheep, using the intact flexor digitorum lateralis tendon, and immobilization with a type II transarticular external skeletal fixator. Clinical Report A 1-year-old neutered male Ouessant sheep was presented for Achilles tendon rupture and multiple bite wounds, secondary to a dog attack. The Achilles tendon was torn entirely, and a significant 3-cm gaping defect was present. The remnants of the Achilles tendon were debrided and attached using locking-loop and epitendinous sutures.

Abstract:

The objective of the study was twofold: (i) to quantify the differences in daily milk yield (DMY) and total milk yield (TMY) between lame and non-lame dairy ewes and (ii) to determine the shape of lactation curves around the lameness incident. The overall study was a prospective study of lameness for the surveyed sheep population, with a nested study including the selection of matching controls for each lame ewe separately. Two intensively reared flocks of purebred Chios ewes and a total of 283 ewes were used. Data, including gait assessment and DMY records, were collected on a weekly basis du

Abstract:

The article presents data on the results of the development and implementation of the methodology for determining the degree of lameness in animals with osteoarthritis. The work was performed in experimental conditions on sheep with controlled degrees of pathological process development and terms of its course. Verification of the degree and stage of the course of osteoarthritis in animals is an important task in clinical veterinary medicine due to the widespread occurrence of such pathological processes, but to date there is no generally recognized dominant methodology for their determination

Abstract:

Abstract Lameness and limb deformities can be detrimental to range and breeding sheep. Growing animals are at an increased risk of angular limb deformities (ALD) and lameness, which adversely affects their mobility, breeding soundness and ultimately longevity. Ram testing allows developing ram lambs from different farms to be evaluated together under a consistent nutritive and environment management system. The aim of this study is to investigate rams from four ram test cohorts (North Dakota State University and University of Wyoming in two consecutive years) for genetic associations with ALD
