Objectives
Test the association of infrared thermography (IRT) measurements with M2 lesions under farm conditions, with the ultimate goal of lesion detection.
Primary objective of this study was if broad spectrum IRT effectively detected M2 lesions on unwashed hind feet of cows standing in a milking parlor. As secondary objectives, we also investigated the association of IRT with M2 lesions on pre-washed hind feet of standing cows and the association of IRT with the presence of any digital dermatitis (DD) lesion on unwashed and washed hind feet of standing cows.
Material and methods
Thermal images were collected from the plantar aspect of 529 unwashed and 558 washed hind feet of cows from 5 different Canadian dairy farms. After washing, the feet were also M-scored while being in the milking parlor. From these feet 205 unwashed and 229 washed feet also had a locomotion score and lower leg cleanliness score available.
