Description
In 1987, an ecopathological survey was carried out on 160 French dairy farms, its primary objective being the clinical characterization of laminitis and heelhorn erosion and the identification of the risk factors of these conditions. A total of 4896 cows were monitored. Observation of pedal lesions of each cow identified associations between different lesions (by correspondence analysis) and between lesions and lameness (by multiple logistic regression). Three distinct diseases (chronic laminitis, subacute laminitis and heelhorn erosion) were characterized
