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.

Extra Stamping out Lameness Seminars Some vets have been asking if we can provide Stamping Out Lameness training at other times of the year. At present there are a few people requiring a seminar before December, so if you wish to join them, contact us and we will arrange a special extra seminar. Go to Seminars above for more information.
