Nomenclature and Atlas Update

At the general meeting in Colonia the ZINPRO Corporation agreed to sponsor a poster on lameness producing lesions in dairy cows which would be of assistance to dairy farmers. Dana Tomlinson will present this during this session. After the International Symposium held in Paris in 1982 a “Colour Atlas on Disorder of Cattle and Sheep Digit” was published. It was decided the terminology and descriptions of lesions should be reviewed. This has been undertaken by Paul Greenough with the help of Dana Tomlinson (ZINPRO). Dörte Döpfer has reviewed the infectious disorders. Various disorder that have been described since Paris will also be consider during this session. Seventeen disorders will be considered by the meeting and consideration will be given to the need and feasibility of publishing a second Atlas.
