Reliability for: Dairy calf disbudding wounds

Disbudding, a painful procedure, permanently damages the horn-bud tissue either with a hot iron (heat) or caustic paste (chemical). The resulting wounds persist for an average of 7-9 wk for hot-iron or 14-18 wk for the caustic paste method. Throughout this healing process, disbudding wounds can be characterized by their tissue composition. To create consistency among our research team with identifying these stages of healing, we have developed supporting materials. This Dryad submission contains information for evaluating observer reliability when describing disbudding wounds in dairy calves. The wound scoring system and definitions we have used in previous research are included, along with a 110-photo test containing examples of the different tissue types. These photos are intended to be used to test observer reliability before data collection begins, during data collection, or afterwards. Included are: (1) the gold standard key for comparison, (2) a blank, formatted Excel sheet for da..., , , # Reliability for: Disbudding wounds after hot iron and caustic paste disbudding

These materials are intended to serve as a resource for researchers who want to score calf disbudding wound healing during future research projects. We have developed a photo test, gold standard scoring, and analysis for calculating inter observer reliability of disbudding wounds, which are all presented here. This code can be modified to calculate intra observer reliability as well.

## Description of the data and file structure

* *DisbuddingWounds241014.pdf*; This file presents the wound tissues scored after hot-iron and caustic paste disbudding in dairy calves. A total of 9 wound tissues are presented along with examples and their definitions. The reliability for identifying the presence and absence of each tissue type is evaluated in the RMD.

去角（Disbudding）是一项具有疼痛性的操作，通过热烙铁（热力法）或腐蚀性药膏（化学法）永久性破坏奶牛犊牛的角芽组织。热烙铁法造成的伤口平均愈合时长为7~9周，腐蚀性药膏法则为14~18周。在整个愈合过程中，去角伤口可依据其组织构成特征进行分类。为统一研究团队对各愈合阶段的识别标准，我们编制了配套辅助材料。本次Dryad（Dryad）数据提交内容用于评估奶牛犊牛去角伤口描述中的观察者信度，包含了我们在既往研究中使用的伤口评分系统及定义，同时附带一套包含110张不同组织类型伤口示例的图片测试集。这些图片可用于数据收集前、数据收集期间或收集后测试观察者信度。本材料包含：(1) 用于对照的金标准参考集；(2) 用于数据整理的空白格式化Excel表格（原文此处截断）。
