This highly practical 2 day course equips participants with the skills to identify and treat lame cows at their own farms.
The course includes a mix of classroom and practical sessions, covering the common causes of lameness, how to prevent these and how to use mobility scoring effectively on the farm.
We teach the Dutch 5 step method for foot trimming, and practice trimming technique and applying blocks on abattoir specimens. All essential equipment is included in the course price, including PPE and knives. If participants wish to use electric grinders, they can bring their own equipment on day 2 for extra guidance on their use.
We typically run 1 Hoof Trimming for Lame Cows course per year.
