跛足是很大比例的母猪被从猪群中移除的原因，包括扑杀、死亡损失和安乐死。研究表明，6%至35%的母猪因跛行而被扑杀当地一家5000头母猪养殖场的PigChamp记录显示，在过去两年中，8.9%的移除母猪与肌肉骨骼问题有关。过早宰杀母猪给养猪业带来了经济损失，包括死亡损失、屠宰价值降低、诊断和治疗费用、额外的劳动力成本和遗传溢价损失。
Lameness is the reason a significant percentage of sows are removed from swine herds, including culling, death loss, and euthanasia. Studies indicate that 6 to 35% of sows are culled because of lameness.1 A local 5000-sow operation’s PigChamp records show that during the previous 2 years, 8.9% of removals were associated with musculoskeletal problems. Premature sow removals create economic expense for swine operations, including lost value associated with death loss, reduced value at slaughter, diagnostic and treatment costs, extra labor costs, and lost genetic premium.
