Radiographic study of hind limb digits in Simmental stud bulls
Lameness is a well recognised health problem in bovine pratice mostly related to claw diseases. Radiographic findings mainly include traumatic, infective or degenerative changes of bones and joints located in the digital limb region. Most of the changes are also connected with soft tissue patologies. The aim of the study was to compare the radiographic changes on phalangeal bones and joints of medial and lateral hind limb digits due to the differences in their weight-bearing and size. The study was carried out on 30 Simmental breed stud bulls during a bigger project that included veterinary health check. Mean age of the bulls was 5.73 years and mean body mass was 1 094 kilograms. All the animals were in optimal body condition score without clinical evidence of lameness. The x-ray imaging was done immediately after the routine claw trimming in two standrand orthogonal, lateromedial and dorsoplantar projections. For statistical analyses Statistica v. 12.5 software was used (Statistica, StatSoft, USA, 2014). Twenty out of 30 bulls examined (66.67%) had some digital bone and joint changes. Due to anatomic location and radiographic characteristics the patologies were divided into three groups. The most common findings were degenerative joint disease that affected metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints (62.51%), periostal bone reactions (30.35%) and primary bone lesions (7.14%) of the bulls with pathological changes. There is no significant difference between incidence and anatomic distribution of radiographic changes between medial and lateral hind limb digits (p≤0.05). In addition, there is no difference in the incidence of secondary bone and joints leasions in lateral compared to medial digits although a higher weight-bearing is on the lateral digit. These results could be explained by the fact that this study included stud bulls with no clinical manifestation of lameness, and thus, all of the changes were reported as incidental findings. The contribution of this study is the fact that the stud bulls are a rear bovine population with greater body measurements compared to the others and their locomotion problems of hind limbs can higly infulence their reproduction performances.
