Introduction
Lesions in the claw hoof of farm animals are frequently associated with damage to the underlying dermal and epidermal soft tissues causing impaired production of horn. The dermis and epidermis of the claw are produced from embryonic mesoderm and ectoderm respectively. Interactions between dermis and epidermis are known to be essential for normal development of the epidermis in integumental tissues in the fetus (1). While fetal tissue development is known to proceed in a systematic fashion dependent on the reception of chemical signals and nutrients during “windows of receptivity” (3) little is known about development in the fetal hoof and how it may be affected by level of maternal nutrition. Previous studies (2) described such development and effects of maternal nutrient supply up to 65 days of gestation. This study extends information towards the last trimester of pregnancy at 110 days. ...
