Abstract
Claw horn lesions are the most common cause of lameness in dairy cows and the development of lesions is related to the days in lactation. The lameness caused by this lesions is influenced by different factors (Offer et al., 2000). The objective of this experiment was to study the relationship of severity of lameness and severity of scoring for hoof horn lesions.
