Bone mineral density affects lameness in boars

Researchers from China explored the relationship between claw lesion types, bone mineral density, and lameness in boars. They also investigated the risk factors affecting bone mineral density. Lameness in boars is a major production disease. The top 3 causes of lameness in pigs include claw lesions, osteoarthritis, and osteochondrosis. Bone mineral density is the amount of minerals per unit of bone volume which reflects bone health. It can be used as an additional tool to predict lameness. A
