Popis:	Sole lesions and lameness are significant problems for dairy cow production and welfare. Producers are increasingly incorporating non-Holstein genetics into the make-up of dairy herds for a number of reasons, particularly to promote improved fertility and health. However, much of the evidence that alternative breeds improve hoof health characteristics is anecdotal. The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of Holstein Friesian (HF) and Norwegian dairy cattle (N) genotypes on lameness parameters in dairy cattle within different production systems.
