Abstract
The present study was set up to assess the prevalence of foot dIsorders In five dairy-cow farms in and around Sharki provincs s with the
reproductive performance of lame animals
Animals were evaluated using locomotion scoring clinical and oistopathological examination. Nine hundred and forty eight animals out of 2600 were diagnosed with different foot disorders. The prevalence of foot disorders was recorded with regard to the affected feet, season, lactation number, days in milk and locomotion
sconng. An attempt for the surgical management of diagnosed foot
disorders and their posttreatment follow-up was adopted, in addition
to the relationship between different foot disorders and locomotion
scoring with reproductive performance of affected animals.
Foot disorders represented an overall prevalence of 36.46 %
where those of the hind feet represented 28.54 % and the fore feet
9.08 %. Foot disorders were more prevalent in winter (20.16 %)
than in summer (16.32 %). Moreover, most of foot disorders were
significantly increased with increasing lactation number and the
highest prevalence of foot disorders were recorded in the first 100
days in milk (11.42 %). The prevalence of foot disorders with
locomotion score 2, 3, 4 and 5 accounted for 40.3, 34.3, 9.6 and
15.8 % respectively.
The most common foot disorders recorded in the examined cows
were; A- Laminitis-related claw disorders, including subclinical
