Lameness is one of the most costly diseases affecting cattle and
cases are increasing as dairy cows spend more time confined to
concrete instead of grassy pasture. The economic impact of lameness
is significant. Preventive claw care is increasingly practiced in
modern dairy farming and is now recognized as a necessary
investment in herd health.
Manual for Treatment and Control of Lameness in Cattle
includes:
- clear illustrations of anatomical features of the bovine foot
- detailed photographs of lesions
- discussion on the practical aspect of functional and corrective trimming
- references for veterinarians, animals/dairy scientists, commercial hoof trimmers, dairy farmers and dairy health technicians
