This makes lameness both an animal welfare and economical concern. Currently, the majority of efforts to prevent lameness have focused on lowering the incidence of lameness. However, the amount of success possible in lowering the prevalence can only be maximized if the strategies to lower incidence are combined with me- thods of detecting and treating lameness in affected cows (Leach et al., 2012; Groenevelt et al., 2014).
