Detection of hoof lesions using digital infrared thermography in dairy cows

Abstract: The objective was to investigate infrared thermography (IRT) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for early detection of foot pathologies in dairy cows. This was achieved by measuring changes in coronary band temperature before and after claw trimming in response to visual detection of abnormalities of the hooves. We hypothesized that by focusing on the coronary band region, IRT is able to detect lesions of the hind limbs of dairy cows associated with lameness. In this study, 626 individual observations were colle… Show more

“…However, in our experiments, the use of infrared thermography used to evaluate the heat tolerance of the animals was sensitive to detect differences in temperature of the skin of animals, particularly in the region of the udder. Alsaaod and Büscher (2012) mentioned that a controlled environment is essential to ensure the reliability of thermographic images.…”

“…A termografia de infravermelho não é um exame invasivo, com acurácia para mensurar a temperatura da superfície da pele [1,16,18,20,23,24], usada no auxílio diagnóstico em rebanhos [19]. A radiação térmica emitida pelo animal está relacionada com a perfusão sanguínea e a taxa de metabolismo, sendo captada pela câmera termográfica [19,20].…”

“…In veterinary medicine, IRT has been successfully used in various applications such as for the detection of bovine viral diarrhoea (Schaefer et al, 2004), bovine respiratory disease (Schaefer et al, 2007(Schaefer et al, , 2012, foot-and-mouth disease (RainwaterLovett et al, 2009), bluetongue (Pérez de Diego et al, 2013 and clinical mastitis (Hovinen et al, 2008;Polat et al, 2010;Martins et al, 2013) and to test for detection of oestrus in dairy cows (Talukder et al, 2014b). Infrared thermography has also been applied to diagnose hoof and foot lesions in horses and cattle (Alsaaod and Büscher, 2012;Main et al, 2012;Stokes et al, 2012;Alsaaod et al, 2014). It has been reported the IRT is able to detect circadian changes of foot temperature in sheep (D'Alterio et al, 2011) and that it can measure differences between hooves temperature of healthy and footrot affected herds (Lehugeur, 2012), however in the same study, Lehugeur was not able to detect difference in temperature of different foot scores.…”
