چکیده انگلیسی
Lameness is a costly and widespread health and welfare problem in intensive dairy production, and reliable automated methods to detect lameness are needed. Lameness may be detected through the measurement of how cattle distribute their weight among their 4 legs, but this requires an understanding of how cattle redistribute their weight in response to pain in one or more limbs. In 3 experiments, 13, 12, and 15 Holstein dairy cows were trained to stand on a platform that measured the weight placed on each limb. We replaced the soft rubber surface under either 1 or 2 hooves with an uncomfortable concrete surface. Cows placed less weight on a back hoof that was placed on an uncomfortable surface, and they redistributed the majority of the weight onto the contralateral back hoof but did not change the distribution of weight on their front hooves. When the same surface was placed under a front hoof, cows placed less weight on that hoof and placed more weight on the contralateral front hoof and the ipsilateral back hoof. The variation in weight the cow placed on both contralateral hooves increased when one of the hooves was on the uncomfortable surface. Cows placed more weight on the back hooves when both front hooves were standing on uncomfortable surfaces, although no change was observed when back hooves were on uncomfortable surfaces. Dairy cows remove weight from a limb in response to limb discomfort and redistribute this weight primarily to the contralateral limb. The variation in weight over time applied to a pair of contralateral limbs increases in response to discomfort in one hoof. Cows have only limited ability to shift weight from front to back. Measures of weight distribution may provide useful on-farm techniques for the detection of lameness.
