Table 5.
Distribution of occurrence of lameness and an arched back in cattle diagnosed with left displacement of the abomasum and no claw lesion (LDA − CLAW) or at least one claw lesion (LDA + CLAW). ‘Shuffling’ was defined as shuffling with both hind limbs. Results with a p-value < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Significant differences < 0.01 are indicated as **.
