With a focus on investigation and control of lameness at the herd level, this book offers guidance on containing situations before they become severe problems within the herd. It also explains how animal behaviour and inadequate production management play important roles in increasing prevalence of lameness and other metabolic diseases. Written specifically for people who work with cattle, the book addresses the problem of lameness to help them advise on incidents of herd lameness. Includes detailed information on the anatomy of the foot as well as the pathology of the region and all conditions affecting the feet of cattle.
