Hoof Balance is a biomechanical construct that defines the structural and spatial alignment of the claw and limb axis in ruminants, distinguishing it from related morphological traits by emphasizing symmetry, weight distribution, and longitudinal and mediolateral angulation to optimize locomotor function and minimize lameness risk.
