A cross-sectional study was conducted from October 2018 to December 2019 to estimate the prevalence of lameness in dairy cows, to  assess the causes and associated risk factors in southern Ethiopia. A total of 2009 dairy cows were visually and clinically examined, and the overall prevalence of lameness was found to be 14. 1% (95% CI=12.7-15.7). The prevalence of lameness was significantly (P< 0.05) higher in Arsi Negelle, Yirgalem, and Wolaita Sodo than in Wondo Genet and Hawassa. The prevalence of lameness was also associated with the stages of pregnancy and parity (P < 0.05). Generally, the prevalence of lameness in dairy cows was increasing with the increase in parity and stage of pregnancy. The main abnormalities observed in this study were hooves overgrowth (6%), lesions between hooves (4%), lesions on legs (2.2%), trauma (0.6%), arthritis (0.5%), and a sole ulcer (0.3%). Most of these abnormalities were mainly due to faulty  management. Hence, based on this finding it is recommended that hoof management and trimming are very essential components of lameness control. Furthermore, early detection and treatment of lame cows; training of the owners on hoof management; and  improvement of the housing are helpful to keep lameness at a lower level.

Sickinger M, Erteld E, Wehrend A. Fertility following uterine torsion in dairy cows: A cross-sectional study. Veterinary World 2020; 13 (1): 92–95 Bei einer Torsio uteri hängt die Prognose für Kalb und Kuh von der Dauer der Erkrankung und dem Grad der Organdrehung ab. Durch die Drehung des Uterus kommt es zur lokalen Ischämie, zum Fruchttod und möglicherweise auch zum Tod der Kuh. Überstehen Kühe die Erkrankung, scheinen das Puerperium wie auch die Fruchtbarkeit in der nachfolgenden Laktation beeinflusst zu sein. Die Untersuchung dieser Einflüsse war das Ziel dieser Studie.
