Lame cows continue to be among the three main problems on New Zealand dairy
farms together with mastitis and infertility.
It is possible to have very low lameness in a herd by understanding the causes of
the different foot lesions and by putting into place certain
management practices that will reduce foot wear.
February Stamping out Lameness Seminar Dates
New and Recent Graduates: February 15th - 16th 2010
