Table 4.
Distribution of age (in years) and occurrence of claw trimming in cattle diagnosed with left displacement of the abomasum and no (LDA − CLAW) or at least one (LDA + CLAW) claw lesion. Data about time of last claw trimming was missing for a total number of 35 animals, 19 for LDA − CLAW and 16 for LD + CLAW.
