White line lesion is the second most common claw disease affecting dairy cattle, with 5.5 cases per 100 cows per year recorded as the average treatment rate in the UK1.
The average case is thought to cost approximately £193, costing the average farm over £1000 per year per 100 cows². However, in some herds white line can become a major problem with over 30 cases per 100 cows per year costing approximately £5800 per 100 cows per year.
