Preliminary survey of claw horn lesions in dairy cattle associated with subclinical laminitis in Eastern Slavonian region

Subclinical laminitis is considered the most important cause of hoof lameness since it produces physical changes in the hoof. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of sole lesions associated with subclinical laminitis in eastern Slavonia region. We aimed to determine the prevalence of the lesions associated with subclinical laminitis in 588 dairy cows. A number of factors involved in the intensive metabolism of high-productive cows are involved in the etiology of laminitis. The pathogenesis of laminitis is believed to be associated with a disturbance in the microcirculation of blood in the corium, which leads to breakdown of the dermal-epidermium between the hoof and pedal bone. In this study, yellow discolouration and haemorrhage of the white line and the sole, separation of the white line, erosion of the heel, double sole, sole ulcers were considered lesions associated with subclinical laminitis.
