Environmental, Nutritional, and Physiological Factors Associated with Hoof Growth and Wear in Holstein Cows
… regions in the front and 20% faster in the rear hooves. Rear hooves grew 10% faster in the dorsal and about 6% faster in the lateral areas than the front hooves. Dorsal regions consistently wore at a lower rate than lateral regions. Hoof wear of the lateral area was less in front hooves than in …

Measurement and analysis of equine radial hoof strain and lower forelimb motion
… and radial strain was measured in equine hooves at the dorsum together with lower forelimb kinernatics and kinetics during in vitro simulations of walking. 3D kinematics were recorded from the lower forelimb of 4 ponies at the walk using non-invasive cluster markers and the Calibrated …

Itakuchi: Echoes from the Twilight House
… Salvadoran legend: a dog-like creature with goat hooves and alighted charcoal eyes a black dog and a white dog a predator along roads, forests, and the countryside Itakuchi is: a warden and chronicler of tales the carrier of the sun through the silent dead night the new American: displaced, …

Three stories
… as he sidestepped and pranced on light, unshod hooves through the sand, she let her eyes run over the lines of muscle and realised at three years old he was easily the biggest horse they'd had on the farm and when he filled, there would be more to come. Watching that balled-up power was a potent …

Validation of dog treats and bones for the presence of Salmonella through in-plant analysis and inoculation challenge studies
… white knuckle bones, large shank bones, and twin hooves. Cooking reduced (P < 0.01) Salmonella of femurs by 3.86 log, large shank bones by 5.77 log, and twin hooves by 4.53 log, and no positive samples were detected after cooking. Furthermore, cooking reduced (P < 0.01) Salmonella of white knuckle …

Measurement and control of particulate emissions from cattle feedlots in Kansas
… with a simulated pen surface, mock cattle hooves that moved horizontally across the pen surface, and PM10 samplers that collected emitted PM10. Of the surface treatments evaluated, application of water (6.4 mm) and hay (723 g/m2) exhibited the greatest percentage reduction in PM10 emission …

The potential role of shearing load in the development of toe tip necrosis syndrome
… damage the white line by scuffing their hooves on abrasive surfaces found in feedlots. This may result in small pathways for external biological materials and bacteria to enter the hoof, causing infection and initiation of TTNS. Also, an abraded worn claw may be more susceptible to local …

Development of High Speed High Dynamic Range Videography
… to the synchronous position of a horse's hooves while galloping. Since that time private industry, government, and enthusiasts have been measuring dynamic scenarios with high speed video. One challenge that faces the high speed video community is the dynamic range of the sensors. The …

Comparing pressure measurement systems and a force platform as tools for equine gait analysis
… of recording pressure measurements from the hooves without being connected directly to a computer) to a force platform to measure vertical ground reaction forces. Results from this study indicate that proper sensor design and calibration help the pressure systems to measure vertical ground …

Investigation of Keratin and Keratin-Containing Composite Biomaterials: Applications in Peripheral Nerve Regeneration
… variety of sources including wool, nails, skin, hooves, and hair. Keratin can be processed into different constructs such as coatings, scaffolds, and hydrogels, and has shown favorable results when placed in in vitro and in vivo settings for different tissue regeneration applications. Over three …

Changes in Conformation and Walk Kinematics of Suckling and Weanling Warmblood Foals
… in older foals. Linear distance between diagonal hooves during stance increased with age, and was negatively correlated to the decrease in over-stride. While older foals appeared to display a more regular, 4-beat walk rhythm, timing between lateral and diagonal footfalls remained significantly …

Elastic properties of architectured cellular materials and biological materials (equine hoof wall)
… mechanical properties materials. The horse hooves are highly impact-resistant biological structures. The goal of studying the TPMS and horse hoof is to understand how the architectured structures provide mechanical benefits. In the first part of this thesis, the TPMS-based Gyroid-type …
