“…Die Messungen bestätigten den Eindruck, dass die Hochlandkühe der hier vorliegenden Untersuchung grosse Klauen hatten. Die Mittelwerte der Dorsalwandlängen, der Ballenlänge, der Ballenhöhe und der Klauenlänge waren grösser als bei Milchkühen (Toussaint Raven, 1989;Phillips et al 1996;Kehler und Sohrt, 2000, Nuss und Paulus, 2006, Sigmund et al 2010, obwohl die Hochlandkühe kleinrahmiger als Milchkühe sind. Generell fanden sich bei Rindern, die auf der Weide gehalten wurden, längere Dorsalwände als bei Tieren in Stallhaltung (Vermunt and Greenough, 1995;Offer et al, 2000).…”

“…Da die Druckbelastung bei grossen Klauen besser verteilt wird und somit Spitzenbelastungen geringer als bei kleinen Klauen sind (Van der Tol et al, 2002;van der Tol et al, 2003;Van der Tol et al, 2004), kann auch die breite Sohle zur guten Klauengesundheit bei diesen Hochlandrindern beigetragen haben. (Vermunt and Greenough, 1995;Phillips et al, 1996;Nuss and Paulus, 2006) für Milchkühe angegeben.…”

The claws of pastured Scottish Highland Cattle are large and this may raise the question if regular claw trimming is necessary. Therefore, the claws of the right thoracic and pelvic limbs were measured in 22 Scottish Highland cows 4 times 8 weeks apart. The cows were kept on various alpine pastures before the first measurement, on a two-hectare low-land pasture before the second measurement, in a welfare-compliant straw-bedded free stall before the third measurement and on alpine pasture before the fourth measurement. Housing conditions significantly affected claw dimensions. The claws were composed of dry, hard horn during pasture periods, and had prominent weight-bearing hoof-wall borders and soles with a natural axial slope. Long dorsal walls and heels and a greater symmetry were common. Claw lesions were absent. In contrast, free-stall housing was associated with shorter toes and steeper toe angles, but white line deterioration, heel horn erosion, wearing of the axial slope and hoof wall edges were common.

“…La muestra de pezuña de vaca posee una contextura rígida y robusta, capaz de brindar protección contra lesiones mecánicas exteriores (Phillips, Patterson, Ap-Dewi, & Whitaker, 1996), mientras que las plumas de pollo son más flexibles y únicamente permiten una regulación de la temperatura corporal. Este hecho implica una composición diferente.…”

Se realizó el análisis proximal en dos muestras, pezuña de vaca (Bos primigenius taurus) y pluma de pollo (Gallus gallus) con el objeto de establecer los componentes básicos que presentan y la probabilidad de ser utilizadas, a través de hidrólisis enzimática de proteínas, como fuente de queratina. Se siguió la metodología planteada en la edición 17 de «Official Methods of Analysis of AOAC International», con algunas modificaciones. Los resultados obtenidos indican que las dos muestras son una fuente promisoria de proteína debido al alto porcentaje que presentan de ella, 79,5131(±0,0066)% y 77,6981(±0,5758)%, para la pezuña y la pluma, respectivamente. Para el análisis estadístico se utilizó SPSS versión 15.0, ANOVA y posteriormente el test de Tukey, encontrando que existen diferencias significativas entre las muestras, para cada una de las determinaciones realizadas en el análisis composicional.

“…Moreover, GM is very helpful in standardizing and separating the different sources of asymmetry [ 25 , 27 ]. Analyses of asymmetries in appendicular (such as the autopodes) or in axial skeletal elements are very scarce in cattle [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ] and GM has never been applied to the study of acropodium asymmetries in bovines. This study determines asymmetries in acropodial series in calves based on radiographs, as, to our knowledge, radiographic geometric morphometric analyses of digits have not previously been used for cattle.…”

Based on the anatomical premise that, in bovines, the medial (inner) hoof is larger than the lateral (outer) one in the forelimb, we hypothesized that this implies a phalangeal form difference. To test this hypothesis, asymmetries of the forelimb acropodia (phalangeal series) were studied on calves belonging to the Brown Pyrenean breed, a meat breed managed under extensive conditions in NE Spain. Dorso-palmar radiographs were obtained for each acropodium in a sample of 17 paired left and right forelimbs. Size and shape were analysed by means of geometric morphometrics on medial and lateral acropodial series (III and IV series respectively) for each left and right limb. Shape coordinates were computed by Generalized Procrustes Analysis. Medial and lateral acropodial series appeared similar in size, but their shape expressed an especially high directional asymmetry, with distal phalanges (pedal bones) being abaxially (outwards) oriented. Such morphological observations may be an important reconsideration of “normal” radiographic acropodial symmetry evaluation. This can be explained not only by an unevenly distributed ground reaction force between acropodial series, but also between right and left limbs, making medial and lateral hoof surfaces differently prone to overloading and, accordingly, to injuries to the limb.
