“…Based on the data presented here and that CODD appears to be the severest end stage of sheep infectious foot disease lesions, better control of the initial ID and FR lesions would enable better control of CODD and enable better animal welfare. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1186/s42523-021-00078-4.…”

“…Such information would be valuable as the farming communities are often struggling in their efforts to assess animal welfare, especially in tropical regions. Broadly three aspects must be considered to ensure appropriate welfare in goats, and these include (i) housing and environment; (ii) breeding and genetics and (iii) handling and transport. …”

“…Only a small part of the phenotypic changes in this indicator in the analysed population was associated with genetic factors; however, the correlation of cow temperament with milk lactose and somatic cells suggests that temperament could be used in sustainable breeding programmes, giving priority to animal welfare and health. A statistically significant decrease in temperament scores with increasing lactation periods was only found in primiparous cows. …”
