Article Abstract
Themes common to beef and dairy cattle in the prevention of claw horn lesions are enhancements to comfort, flooring, and handling practices, and careful use of hoof trimming to unload pressure on the claws, without the removal of excessive amounts of horn. Infectious lesion control emphasizes the role of individuals in the herd infected with active lesions and the need for close contact and moist underfoot conditions for spread, providing a role for well-managed pen conditions and potential utilization of footbathing and disinfection practices, as well as enhancements to skin integrity and animal immunity.

Broilers in modern farming systems gain significant body weight, resulting in leg disorders in broilers. Long bones in the limbs extend after birth through endochondral ossification (EO), a process where bone replaces cartilage in pre-formed templates, making it essential for bone and cartilage development. The endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) pathway has been implicated in bone development and key steps of EO, but the mechanism remains unclear.

Deep digital flexor (DDF) tendinopathy is a significant cause of lameness and poor performance in equine athletes with substantial implications for their return to athletic performance. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly integrated into the diagnostic workup of horses with foot pain and has revolutionised the diagnosis and management of these injuries. This review discusses the principles of MRI in the context of deep digital flexor tendon (DDFT) injury, comparing high-field and low-field systems and highlighting the clinical relevance of technical parameters, including field strength and sequence selection, in achieving an accurate diagnosis.

(1) Background: Tendon and ligament injuries are a leading cause of lameness in horses, with significant economic implications. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has gained attention for its regenerative potential, but its efficacy remains uncertain due to inconsistent study designs and reporting. (2) Methods: This systematic review, following the PRISMA guidelines, evaluated 22 studies (clinical and experimental) to assess the safety and efficacy of PRP in treating equine tendon and ligament injuries.

Lameness in poultry is a significant issue in modern meat production that adversely affects both animal welfare and economic outcomes due to poor leg health, reduced locomotor function, increased feed conversion ratios, and poor performance. Fast-growing broilers are particularly susceptible to lameness, with Staphylococcus being a major bacterial cause of skeletal infections. The aim of this study was to identify Staphylococcus species isolated from skeletal lesions in broiler chickens and to characterize the factors that facilitate such infections.
