Abstract

Lameness is one of the three most common reasons given for prematurely culling dairy cows. Incidence surveys in the literature have found lameness incidence rates from 7 to 70% in commercial herds of dairy cows. Many dairy producers are not aware of their lameness incidence rates and do not keep records that are conducive to managerial or statistical analysis.
