Innovative tools to improve preventive and curative claw care in dairy cattle Ghent University
This project investigated claw care on dairy farms. On the one hand, it was investigated whether the currently applied method of claw care is still valid under current conditions, and on the other hand, whether innovative tools such as the use of a heat camera can be used to improve the detection of claw disorders. In addition, the use of disinfectants in claw baths was also investigated.

A major challenge of the newborn child is to learn to regulate internal states (physiological, emotional, and cognitive) and behavior. The child’s self-regulation stems from successful co-regulation between the baby and its caregiver(s) and constitutes the basis of mental health. Regulation problems (RP) in early childhood are the seeds for emergent developmental psychopathology and for persistent mental health problems later in life. Given ...
