Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers
Journal Article
Channon, A. J., Walker, A. M., Pfau, T., Sheldon, I. M., & Wilson, A. M. Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers. Veterinary Record, 164(13), 388-392

The gait scoring system developed by Manson and Leaver was used by five experienced observers to assess the gait of 83 milking Holstein-Friesian cows in a live recording session, and video recordings were made. The agreement between the scores of the... Read More about Variability of Manson and Leaver locomotion scores assigned to dairy cows by different observers.
