SD_Healthy Hooves_FNQ_21st Jan 25

You're invited to join us for a hands-on, interactive session around managinglameness in your dairy herd.

Dr Bill Tranter will facilitate this practical session.

Why 'healthy hooves' is an important topic:

• Lame cows take time, energy and skill to treat properly.
• Lame cows represent a financial cost to your farm business and, therefore, impact on profitability.
• Lame cows produce less milk, lose weight, and take longer to cycle.
• Reducing the number of lame cows in your herd requires a long-term, planned approach that is supported by the whole farm team.

Bill will discuss the options for treating lameness, the equipment required to tether cows for hoof examinations and demonstrate how to do so safely.Participants will have the opportunity to use the tools that are required to trim and repair hooves.
