Validating a Proposed Data Mining Approach (SLDM) for Motion Wearable Sensors to Detect the Early Signs of Lameness in Sheep
Lameness can be described as painful erratic movements, which relate to a locomotor system and result in the animal deviating from its normal gait or posture. Lameness is considered one of the major health and welfare concerns for the sheep industry in the UK that leads to a substantial economic …

USE OF ON-FARM DATA AND MILK LEUCOCYTE COMPONENTS FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF DAIRY COWS
… two main diseases of dairy cows: mastitis and lameness. Critical aspects are linked with these diseases and some of them were considered and discussed in four different experiments. The first experiment focused on the variability of leucocytes in milk, that affects its use as a detection tool …

Objective gait analysis in humboldt penguins (spheniscus humboldti) and domestic ducks (cairina moschata domestica) using a pressure sensitive walkway
Lameness due to osteoarthritis and/or pododermatitis is one of the most common problems encountered with aquatic birds such as ducks and penguins under professional care. Successful treatment and management is variable and often incomplete or transient. There is a lack of a validated objective tool …

Assessing the impact of lameness on fertility and oestrus behaviour of dairy cattle: A comparison of oestrus detection methods with the evaluation of a modern detection method
It is well documented that lameness is a painful and debilitating condition that can have adverse effects on welfare and reproductive performance, including oestrus expression and intensity. Despite extensive research, lameness continues to affect dairy cow populations. This study assessed the …
