Table 1.

Number of hooves (No. of hooves) and their percentage of the total dataset (% of total) from the exploratory (Exploratory exp.) and validation (Validation exp.) experiments, categorized by type of hoof lesion scoring scale and hoof score (Score)

			Exploratory exp.		Validation exp.
Type of hoof lesion scale	Score	Definition*	No. of hooves	% of total	No. of hooves	% of total
Hoof lesion scale by Conington et al. (2008)	0	Healthy hoof	577	94.44	119	94.44
	1	Mild IDD	26	4.26	6	4.76
	2	Extensive IDD	6	0.98	1	0.79
	3	Severe IDD/foot rot	2	0.33	0	0.00
	4	Severe foot rot	0	0.00	0	0.00
Categorical hoof lesion scale	0	Healthy hoof	577	93.82	119	93.70
	1	Mild IDD	26	4.23	6	4.72
	2	Extensive IDD or worse	12	1.95	2	1.57
Binary hoof lesion scale	0	Healthy hoof	577	92.03	119	89.47
	1	Mild IDD or worse	50	7.97	14	10.53

Both the categorical and binary hoof lesion scales were derived from the hoof lesion scale from Conington et al. (2008).

*IDD = Interdigital dermatitis.
