SYSTEM FOR DIAGNOSING LEG CONDITION AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING USING IT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system for diagnosing a leg condition which can objectively and simply determine the occurrence of a disease in the legs of a milk cow, specify the legs suffering from the disease, and evaluate the stage of the cured legs, and to provide the method for diagnosing using the system. SOLUTION: The system comprises a comparison between a milk cow to diagnose and a health cow (normal cow) in respect of magnitude and direction of accelerations with which their respective body axes move, allowing objective and simple determination of the occurrence of a disease in any leg of the milk cow to diagnose and specification of a leg suffering from the disease. Further, the system comprises a comparison between the milk cow to diagnose after the leg suffering from the disease is cured and the same milk cow before cured in respect of magnitude and direction of accelerations with which their respective body axes move, allowing objective and simple evaluation of the stage after the leg suffering from the disease is cured.
