This review details common causes of lameness in feedlot cattle, focusing on clinical signs, treatment, and prevention strategies for conditions like foot rot and laminitis.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Animal Science
  • Ruminant Health

Background:

  • Lameness is a significant welfare and economic issue in feedlot cattle operations.
  • Understanding the multifactorial causes of lameness is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the primary causes of lameness in feedlot cattle.
  • To highlight clinical signs, treatment options, and preventative measures for key lameness conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of scientific articles and veterinary resources on feedlot cattle lameness.
  • Synthesis of information on specific conditions including interdigital necrobacillosis, laminitis, and injuries.
  • Discussion of Mycoplasma bovis-associated lameness and immune management of the foot.

Related Experiment Videos

Main Results:

  • Identified interdigital necrobacillosis (foot rot), laminitis, and traumatic injuries as major causes of lameness.
  • Highlighted Mycoplasma bovis as a significant pathogen contributing to feedlot lameness.
  • Reviewed the importance of immune status and foot health management.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of feedlot lameness requires accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
  • Prevention strategies should address environmental, infectious, and nutritional factors.
  • Integrated approaches to animal health, including immune management, are essential for reducing lameness incidence.
