Event Claw health in dairy cattle: innovations in prevention, detection and care

Claw problems and lameness are important, often underestimated conditions in dairy cattle. They have serious economic consequences and a negative impact on cow welfare.The VLAIO Clawcare project spent four years investigating how the approach to claw problems on Flemish dairy farms could be further updated and improved on both a preventive and curative level.

The project partners are happy to present the results to you through practical and interactive workshops. They answer the following questions::

  • How can you score mobility in dairy cattle?
  • Is there technology to support preventive and curative claw care?
  • What is the efficacy of active substances against Treponema: an in vitro approach.
  • How is the Netherlands improving claw health on dairy farms? Overview of some ongoing initiatives.
