Abstract
Foot and leg disorders that result in lameness tend to increase with more confined management systems and increased production. Many factors affect hoof health, including genetics, conformation, diet, contagious agents, hygiene, housing systems, animal behavior, and management. This article describes relationships between hoof health and some of these factors as well as methods for prevention of lameness on a herd basis.Entities:
