This has probably led to lower production levels, weaker reproductive performance and a pile of bills for additional hoof trims, wrappings and other treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be wondering what happened to cause this seasonal outbreak of lameness in your herd, but the truth is the causes can be traced back to your management practices and the conditions your cows experienced during the summer months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/en_na\/beat-the-heat-control-heat-stress-and-prevent-dairy-cow-lameness\/\">In a previous blog post<\/a>, we looked at the ways heat stress in the summer can cause seasonal lameness in the fall and winter. There are several other conditions that occur during that time that are responsible for seasonal lameness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we\u2019ll address some of the common conditions of seasonal lameness and some steps you can take to assess your operation to start making the necessary improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Conditions That Cause Seasonal Lameness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s start by exploring the common conditions that occur in the summer that may have caused seasonal lameness on your dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wet Conditions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it gets hot outside, cows drink more water and urinate more frequently, which leads to them spending more time standing in wetter, soggier manure. Common heat abatement strategies, like foggers and sprinklers, while necessary for effective heat stress management, aren\u2019t making these conditions any dryer. The longer your cows spend standing in these conditions, the softer their hooves become, which leads to a higher susceptibility to lameness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Time Standing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cows that are experiencing heat stress will spend less time laying down and more time standing to cool off. When a cow stands up, more surface area is exposed and, as a result, she will mitigate heat more easily. When she\u2019s laying down, however, 50% of her surface area is insulated. Additionally, if a cow is panting, it will be more comfortable for her to do it standing up, because laying down is more constrictive on the body. Increasing her time standing will lead to excessive stress on the pedal bone in the lateral claw of the rear foot, which leads to sole ulcers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inconsistent Feed Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the hot summer months, cows prefer to eat at night when the temperature is cooler. At night, your staff may not be pushing an adequate amount of feed up for the cows. Ideally, dairy cows should be eating multiple small meals every day. Eating fewer large meals will change her rumen pH, which affects blood delivery to the feet and can lead to poor hoof quality and hoof wear. So, it\u2019s important that your staff is pushing up feed at all hours of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Fly Control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If flies are not properly controlled, they will become irritants to your cows. In barns where there\u2019s a lot of fly pressure, the cows will be huddled together as they do whenever they feel stress. This means they are not laying down as much as they should, which causes wear on the hooves, and this can increase heat stress as they all radiate heat onto each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor Light Management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cows are not particularly intuitive animals, so they may assume that if an area is really well lit on a hot day, that it\u2019s going to be the hottest part of the barn, even if it happens to be the most well-ventilated area. As a result, they are going to find shade in the interior areas of the barn, which will increase the amount of time they spend standing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All these issues occur in varying degrees at every dairy each summer. Your Zinpro field representative can help you determine which are the most problematic for you and what changes can be made for next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Decide Now to Prevent Seasonal Lameness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now is a good time to evaluate your facilities and your records to decide on improvements you can make to enhance conditions in the summer months and avoid issues with seasonal lameness next fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the help of your Zinpro field representative, you can assess the following things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Heat Abatement and Cow Comfort<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/en_na\/performance-solutions\/production-optimization-tools\/first-step\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zinpro\u00ae&nbsp;FirstStep\u00ae&nbsp;Dairy Hoof Health and Management Program<\/a>, your Zinpro representative can help you by looking at your stall design, the number and placements of your fans, the volume of air that\u2019s moving through your barn and the conditions of your flooring to make sure you are maximizing cow comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improve Feed Availability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You need to make sure feed pushups are happening frequently and often. Make sure your staff is following through on these duties, even during the quiet hours after the sun has gone down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Maintenance Trim Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintenance trims should be performed on your cows twice per year. You\u2019re not going to be able to eliminate all aspects of heat stress or eliminate wet conditions. One thing you can control is making sure their hooves are properly maintained so that they are bearing weight evenly across both claws of the rear feet. If a cow goes into the summer with an out-of-balance claw, her chances of developing a serious problem in the fall is going to be much higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Started Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one enjoys staring at a bill for additional hoof trims, wrappings and additional treatments due to seasonal lameness during the fall and winter, especially when they could have been addressed in the summer. It\u2019s never too early or too late to start evaluating your dairy conditions and start making improvements to help prevent or reduce seasonal lameness next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Zinpro field representative can help you prioritize your needs this winter, so you\u2019re ready to hit the ground running in the spring and summer.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zinpro.com\/en_na\/lets-connect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reach out<\/a>&nbsp;today and get started.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your dairy cows have likely dealt with seasonal lameness at some point during the fall months.
