Housing‐related hazards affecting claw disorders in cubicle systems
| Housing‐related hazards affecting claw disorders | Effect | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lying surface | Peat vs. wood shavings | ↑ | Häggman and Juga (2015) |
| Sawdust vs. wood shavings, waterbed, solid manure, sand | ↓ | de Jong et al. (2021) | |
| Floor type | Fully floored vs. partially‐floored mastic asphalt (a) | ↑ | Führer et al. (2019) |
| Slatted vs. solid | ↑ | Burgstaller et al. (2016), Häggman and Juga (2015) | |
| Concrete vs. rubber | ↑ | Eicher et al. (2013) | |

Rubber vs. mastic asphalt and slatted concrete (heel horn erosion) Slatted concrete vs. rubber and mastic asphalt (sole haemorrhage) Rubber vs. mastic asphalt (sole haemorrhage) |

| Warm housing with slatted floor vs. cold housing with heavy straw bedding and solid floor | ↑ | Kujala et al. (2010) | |
↑ = significant increase in prevalence of claw disorders (p < 0.05), ↓ = significant decrease in prevalence.
(a)
Mastic asphalt is a mixture of crushed stone gravel and bitumen (slip‐resistant but abrasive), partially floored mastic asphalt: 55–66% mastic asphalt, 33–45% rubber or plain concrete.
