Abstract

The figures are percentages of the total lesions found (only the main ones are listed). Wood Veterinary Group (WVG 1999) only 5 commercial herds but all cases of lameness handled by a veterinarian and recording should be accurate DAISY 1996 (Kossaibati and Esslemont ) based on herd records note the high level of ‘foreign body’ diagnosed which is probably a confusion on the part of the stockperson between white line disease or solar ulceration and a true foreign body For comparison the USA results emphasise the increasing importance of digital dermatitis if you think this was not present in these countries till the early 1990s it suggests that overall lameness due to other causes must be actually reducing.
