Article Synopsis
- Claw lesions significantly impact the health of dairy cattle, and while herd management plays a role, genetic selection can also reduce their occurrence.*
-
- The study analyzed 25,511 claw trimming records from French Holstein cows to determine the effects of preselecting cows for trimming on genetic evaluations of claw health traits like digital dermatitis and sole ulcers.*
-
- Three modeling scenarios were tested to include trimming status, with findings indicating that heritability estimates of claw health traits were low and the effect of preselection on heritability estimations was minimal.*
