Validation of a lameness model in sows using physiological and mechanical measurements1
ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to develop a validated, transient, chemically induced lameness model in sows using subjective and objective lameness detection tools. Experiment 1 determined an effective joint injection technique based on volume and placement of dye using feet collected from 9 fi nisher pigs and 10 multiparity cull sow carcasses. Experiment 2 confi rmed the injection t...

متن کاملMeasuring Lameness in Sows
The movement away from sow gestation stalls to group housing presents several major welfare issues from the standpoints of facility design and sow management. In choosing the type of sow gestation housing, it will be important to adopt the system with the most advantages and to be able to assess factors that will impact on the sows’ welfare, longevity in the herd and thereby the producer’s econ...
متن کاملIdentifying, Treating and Preventing Lameness in Sows
Introduction Lameness is generally defined as “incapable of normal locomotion, deviating from the normal gate [1].” Lameness can result from damage to any of the structures involved in locomotion including the bones, muscles, tendons, nerves and blood supply of the shoulder, hock, stifle, foot, toe or hoof. A significant portion of lesions that can cause lameness are not visible on external exa...
