Waste can be defined as solids or liquids unwanted by members of the society and meant to be disposed. In developing countries such as Ghana, the management of waste is the responsibility of the metropolitan authorities. These authorities do not seem to have effective management of the waste situation, and therefore, it is not unusual to see waste clog the drains and litter the streets of the capital city, Accra.

The objective of this study was to investigate associations of freestall design and cleanliness with cow lying behavior, hygiene, lameness, and risk of new high somatic cell count (SCC). Cows from 18 commercial freestall dairy herds (22 ± 15 cows/farm; mean ± SD) in Ontario, Canada, were enrolled in a longitudinal study. Four hundred focal cows that were <120 d in milk, had no mastitis treatment in the last 3 mo, and had an SCC <100,000 cells/mL at their most recent milk test were selected for the study.

Article Synopsis
- Cow cleanliness is crucial for hygienic milk production and cow welfare, with a study analyzing cleanliness in 232 Norwegian dairy herds revealing that cows tended to be clean on the udder but dirtier on their thighs and legs.
- Risk factors for dirty thighs included a high number of cows per stall, absence of sawdust bedding, and the height of the upper head rail, with other associations noted relating to manure consistency and cow temperament.
- Maintaining proper indoor temperatures (10-15°C) and managing air humidity can help reduce the risk of dirty thighs, emphasizing the need for better freestall designs and overall indoor climate management.
