Abstract

The on-farm capture of lameness information remains a major deficiency in animal health record keeping programs throughout North America. To address this issue, a language-neutral record-keeping system was developed utilizing touch screen computer technology, RFID and the claw zone and foot numbering techniques as described by the AABP Lameness Committee in 2004.
