Lameness & Healthy Hoof
Lameness & Healthy Hoof
Lameness is one of the most costly and visible welfare issues on a dairy farm. As a Healthy Hoof provider, we treat the cows in front of you and help prevent the next ones.
Prompt, correct treatment gets lame cows back on their feet faster and reduces the chance of repeat cases. We'll treat the cows you've got and show your team how to handle the next ones well.
Prevention is where the real gains are - tracks, yard flow, standing times and trimming all play a part. As a Healthy Hoof provider we can help you tackle the causes, not just the symptoms.

Lameness & Healthy Hoof - your questions
What is Healthy Hoof?
Healthy Hoof is a national programme for reducing lameness in dairy herds. As a registered provider, we use it to assess, treat and prevent lameness on your farm.
Can you train our staff to treat lame cows?
Yes - practical staff training is part of what we offer, so your team can lift, examine and treat lame cows confidently and correctly.
Do you do lameness surgery?
Yes, for more complex cases that need it. We'll always talk you through the options and the likely outcome first.
