Abstract

An own-devised attachment “Knuckle-Care” was applied to 18 dairy cows with forward knuckling of the fetlock joint of hind limb following dystocia, postpartum recumbency or the gastrocunemius muscle injury. In all 15 cases in which the follow-up studies were possible, knuckling was corrected within 13 days on the average. “Knuckle-Care” characterized by ready attachment, and delicate adjustment, was shown to be a validity of flexible support with an effective rehabilitation treatment.
