Lameness is a significant cow welfare issue, and it is directly linked to claw health. Large variation in the recording, identification, and management of claw lesions adds to the complexity of finding sustainable solutions. Phenotypic correlations and heritability estimates found in this study indicate that claw lesion data have the potential to be used for genetic evaluation of hoof health; therefore, simplification and standardisation of data collection should be encouraged.

Honey supplementation via drinking water at 26 mL/L per day after 2 d significantly enhanced growth performance, carcass characteristics, hematological traits, and hemagglutination inhibition. Furthermore, honey supplementation reduced serum triglycerides, cholesterol, alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, and uric acid.
