Claw Disease in Cows: Unveiling the Genetic Roots Behind Hoof Health

Did you know painful claw disease in cows might not just be about muddy barns or poor hygiene, but hidden deep in their DNA? Discover the groundbreaking research revealing that Interdigital Hyperplasia (IH), a common hoof disease causing lameness in dairy cows, is primarily genetic! Scientists have identified a mutation in the ROR2 gene as the root cause, changing how dairy farmers, veterinarians, and breeders tackle this silent threat. In this video, we break down the science, the shocking findings, and how this discovery could revolutionize dairy farming through smarter breeding strategies. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to genetically stronger, healthier cows!
