Feet First® Swine Locomotion Scoring System
![]()
Locomotion Scoring is a system used to assess lameness based on the observation of sows standing and walking. This system is intuitive and easy to learn and implement.
Use of locomotion scoring is effective for early detection of foot disorders and lesions, monitoring prevalence of lameness in a herd, comparing the incidence and severity of lameness between herds and identifying individual sows for functional claw trimming.
