Practical Hoof Trimming and Treatment
Aimed at the vet who already has some trimming and lame cow experience, this highly practical course aims to advance skills and knowledge and introduce new techniques. There will be a strong emphasis on the evidence base and how this can be incorporated practically into lameness management programs on farm.
The following will be covered:
- The 5 step hoof trimming method: An evidence based approach
- Appraising hoof trimming: Identifying bad practices and the impact they have
- Treatment of the lame cow: Creating protocols based on the science
- Blocking: Selecting the correct block and tips for success
- Approaching advanced necrotic lesions: Anaesthesia, analgesia, trimming and aftercare
- The team approach: Establishing vet-trimmer-farmer communication networks and working relationships
