Hoof disease is one of the most common health disorders of high-producing dairy cows and limits the performance and health status of animals kept in stables. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of hoof disease and its effect on the milk yield of cows in a specific dairy farm. The work evaluated the effect of the occurrence of dermatitis digitalis (DD) and specific-traumatic inflammation of the hoof (ZŠP) on parameters of milk performance (daily milk yield, fat content, protein content and number of somatic cells in milk) and on the insemination index in the herd of Holstein dairy cows in years 2021 and 2022. The data set from 1,498 dairy cows was used for the evaluation, when 15,245 performance control records were processed. First, the average values of milk yield indicators were compared one month before the diagnosis of the disease and one month after the diagnosis of the disease. In this case, a statistically significant difference was demonstrated only in the number of somatic cells (PSB) in DD, when this indicator rose from the original 275 thousand to 487 thousand somatic cells. Furthermore, indicators of milk yield were evaluated in the month after the finding according to the stage of lactation. Here, a statistically significant difference was recorded in the second stage of lactation (from the 41st to the 100th day) in the fat content of cows with ZŠP, when the fat content in cows without findings was 3.59 % and in cows with ZŠP it dropped to 3.29 %. Furthermore, a statistically significant difference was recorded in the fourth stage of lactation (day 201-304 of lactation) in protein content and number of somatic cells. When the highest protein content was recorded in DD - 3.73 %, in cows without hoof disease the protein content was 3.69 % and in cows with ZŠP the protein content dropped to 3.58 %. The number of somatic cells in cows in this stage of lactation was 363 thousand in cows without hoof disease. and for cows with DD it rose to 599 thousand. Furthermore, the effect of hoof disease on the insemination index was assessed. For this indicator, no difference was found between cows without disease and those with hoof disease. However, a clear influence of the insemination technician who performed the insemination was found. When assessing the effect of the disease according to its species, an average insemination index was found for cows with DD of 2.10 and for cows with ZŠP of 2.31. However, the difference was evident only for one insemination technician.
