Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of flooring types on hygiene score of various body regions (lower limbs, udder, upper limbs and flank) of crossbred cows under loose housing system. All the 21 experimental crossbred cows were randomly allotted into 3 treatment groups (n=7 each) viz. T0 (Concrete flooring), T1 (Rubber floor), T2 (Asphalt/bitumen flooring). The cow cleanliness or hygiene score for different body regions such as lower legs, udder, upper legs and flank with the degree of manure contamination was observed fortnightly by using cook’s 4-point scale system. For lower limb score, there was significant (p
