Abstract:

Locomotion scoring is an important tool to detect dairy cow lameness. A number of locomotion scoring systems use the posture of the back to identify lame cows (score 3). For example Sprecher et al (1997) suggested the presence of an arched back standing and walking indicates lameness. Flower and Weary (2006) developed this system to score cows while walking where a score 3 cow has a more severely arched back than a score 2 cow. However to date no work has been published characterising the degree of arching of the spine observed in lame animals and its relationship with foot lesions. This is im

Abstract:

The genetic development of the commercial broiler has led to body misconfiguration and consequent walking disabilities, mainly at the slaughter age. The present study aimed to identify broiler locomotion ability using image analysis automatically. A total of 40 broilers that were 40 d old (male and female) were placed to walk on a specially built runway, and their locomotion was recorded. An image segmentation algorithm was developed, and the coordinates of the bird’s center of mass were extracted from the segmented images for each frame analyzed, and the unrest index (UI) was applied.

Abstract:

As a major health problem facing dairy farmers worldwide with substantial economic, production and welfare consequences, lameness has attracted much attention over the last two to three decades (Boelling, 1999). Lameness as a linear type trait is measured by locomotion scoring as there is a high genetic correlation between lameness and locomotion score. Studies have included locomotion (as a predictor of lameness) and have associated lameness with no effect, an increase and sometimes a decrease in milk production of cows. Several reasons have been given for these differences and the need still

Kinematic assessment of gait has been widely used in sports and equine science, this method gives objective and accurate information on the movement of the subject. Most locomotion scoring systems incorporate stride length however this is subjective and is difficult to compare observers. Kinematic studies have shown that cows with sole ulcers have a shorter stride length than those showing no hoof lesions (Flower et al, 2005).

Abstract:

As it is essential for breeding societies to have their registered livestock classified objectively, linear trait assessment of Holstein Friesian cows was introduced in Great Britain in 1982. Currently, 15 traits describing the body, legs and feet, the udder, and teats are scored visually according to an underlying linear scale. For example the two legs and feet traits Rear Leg Side View (RLSV) and Foot Angle are scored from “straight” to “sickled” and from “low” to “steep”, respectively. In 1993, the Holstein Friesian Society of Great Britain and Ireland (HFS) decided to add a new trait “Loco

Locomotion deficiencies in broiler production cause poor welfare and lead to change in drinking and feeding behavior with consequent loss in weight gain. This research aimed to assess locomotion deficiencies in broiler chicken by analyzing the vertical peak force on both feet during walk. A chamber was built with an inlet ramp, a horizontal walkway in the middle and an outlet ramp. In the walkway a thin mat with piezoelectric crystal sensors was placed to record the step vertical peak force of the feet while walking on the force platform.

Abstract:

The aim of the presented study was to validate a three-point locomotion score (LS) classifying lameness in dairy cows. Therefore, locomotion of 144 cows was scored and data on claw lesions were collected during hoof trimming. Based on latter data a cluster analysis was performed to objectively classify cows into three groups (Cluster 1–3). Finally, the congruence between scoring system and clustering was tested using Krippendorff’s α reliability. In total, 63 cows (43.7 per cent) were classified as non-lame (LS1), 38 (26.4 per cent) were rated as LS2 with an uneven gait and 43 (29.9 per cent)

We recently showed that, compared to a 3D scoring approach, 2D analyses could lead to inaccurate claims regarding individual and social behavior of drug-free experimental subjects. Her

Objectives: Appropriate management of malleolar injuries is crucial as the ankle is an important weight-bearing joint, and locomotion is determined by and dependent on joint stability. We studied the functional outcome of surgically managed bimalleolar fractures of the ankle.Methods: Fractures were classified anatomically and as per Lauge–Hansen, arbeitsgemeinschaft für osteosynthesefragen (AO)/orthopedic trauma association classification. The stability of the structures at the fracture site, the extent of damage, mechanism of injury was assessed. Radiologically, tibiofibular clear space of &g

ZusammenfassungGegenstand und Ziel: Untersuchung des Effekts von Lahmheiten auf die Fruchtbarkeit von Milchkühen. Material und Methoden: In sieben Betrieben mit Boxenlaufstallhaltung fand in 4-wöchigen Intervallen eine Beurteilung aller Milchkühe anhand eines Locomotion Scoring Systems (Score 1: nicht lahm bis Score 5: schwer lahm) statt. Im Beobachtungszeitraum von 18 Monaten konnten von 893 Kühen im 1. und von 944 Kühen im 2., 3. und 4. Laktationsmonat (LM) der Bewegungsscore und die Fruchtbarkeitsparameter erfasst werden. Die Auswertungen beinhalteten den Vergleich der Fruchtbarkeitskennzah

Abstract:

Locomotion problems limit access to drinkers and feeders with a resultant effect on birds' survival and productivity. In this study, gait score (GS), latency-to-lie (LTL) and their association with body weight (BWT) and morphometric traits in light weight (Nigerian Local, NL) and heavy weight (Nicholas White, NW) strains of turkeys were evaluated. A total of two hundred day-old Nigerian local and Nicholas white poults were used for the study. Gait of poults were scored at 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks of age using Kestin gait scoring system. Other parameters measured include latency-to-lie, body weigh

Abstract:

Object Due to the usefulness of mouse genetics, there is a need to improve procedures for producing and assessing spinal cord injury (SCI) in mice. The authors describe an improved locomotor scoring system for evaluating SCI. The modified Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (mBBB) scoring system for mice is compared with existing procedures as well as histological SCI criteria. Methods Mice were subjected to SCI by placing a weight on the cord at T-12 for 5 to 15 minutes after laminectomy to produce spinal cord ischemia. Injury was assessed using mBBB scoring that incorporates elements of the rat BBB and

Abstract:

In basic research on spinal cord injury (SCI), behavioral evaluation of the SCI animal model is critical. However, it is difficult to accurately evaluate function in the mouse SCI model due to the small size of mice. Although the open-field scoring scale is an outstanding appraisal method, supplementary objective tests are required. Using a compact SCANET system, in which a mouse carries out free movement for 5 min, we developed a novel method to detect locomotor ability. A SCANET system samples the horizontal coordinates of a mouse every 0.1 s, and both the speed and acceleration of its motio

Abstract Introduction Experimental investigation of sleep-wake dynamics in animals is an important part of pharmaceutical development. It typically involves recording of electroencephalogram, electromyogram, locomotor activity, and electrooculogram. Visual identification, or scoring, of the sleep-wake states from these recordings is time-consuming. We sought to develop software for automated sleep-wake scoring capable of processing large databases of multi-channel signal recordings in a range of animal species. Methods We used a large historical database of signal recordings and scores in non-

Abstract:

SummaryCanine hip dysplasia (CHD) is a locomotive-system disease in dogs, which in many countries is the target of screening programs aimed at reducing the prevalence of CHD among descendants of predisposed dog breeds. Despite the efforts to apply genetic testing or ultrasound diagnostics in diagnosing CHD (as is common in human medicine), the main diagnostic process in veterinary medicine is by radiographic examination. The main two parameters which are used in diagnosing HD are the Norberg angle (NA) and the position of femoral head centre to the dorsal acetabular edge (FHC/DAE). We examined
