Par la suite, il a \u00e9t\u00e9 sugg\u00e9r\u00e9 que certaines caract\u00e9ristiques du sol, telles que l'abrasivit\u00e9 et la duret\u00e9 entra\u00eenant une friction et une traction insuffisantes, comme c'est le cas des sols en b\u00e9ton (CF), avaient un impact n\u00e9gatif sur la sant\u00e9 des onglons et la locomotion des vaches laiti\u00e8res. Dans ce contexte, l'utilisation de rev\u00eatements de sol amortissants, tels que les rev\u00eatements en caoutchouc (RF), am\u00e9liorerait les propri\u00e9t\u00e9s de la d\u00e9marche.

Subsequently, floor features such as abrasiveness and hardness leading to insufficient friction and traction\u2014as present in concrete floors (CF)\u2014were suggested to negatively impact the claw health and locomotion of dairy cows. In this context, the use of cushioning floor surfaces, such as through the use of rubber flooring (RF), has been reported to improve gait properties. This includes reduced muscular activity in the hind limbs and similar stride length when compared to locomotion on pasture.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/fr\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/","og_site_name":"Animat","article_published_time":"2025-07-18T14:31:44+00:00","article_modified_time":"2025-07-18T14:34:07+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2048,"height":1536,"url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dscn1866.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Sabrina","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sabrina","Est. reading time":"1 minute"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/"},"author":{"name":"Sabrina","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#\/schema\/person\/b04d1463e68fa83679fbfea587470f37"},"headline":"Association between Lameness and Indicators of Dairy Cow Welfare Based on Locomotion Scoring, Body and Hock Condition, Leg Hygiene and Lying Behavior","datePublished":"2025-07-18T14:31:44+00:00","dateModified":"2025-07-18T14:34:07+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/"},"wordCount":166,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/dscn1866.jpg","articleSection":["Uncategorized"],"inLanguage":"fr-CA"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/","url":"https:\/\/www.animat.ca\/association-between-lameness-and-indicators-of-dairy-cow-welfare-based-on-locomotion-scoring-body-and-hock-condition-leg-hygiene-and-lying-behavior\/","name":"Association between Lameness and Indicators of Dairy Cow Welfare Based on Locomotion Scoring, Body and Hock Condition, Leg Hygiene and Lying Behavior -
