We use a variety of methods, selected according to the animal itself and the condition to be treated. Mostly, the Dutch technique is used for hoof trimming, but we also use the Atls method for white line disease. Every herd, every animal is different, so it is vital to base the method selection on individual circumstances.
Our hoof trimmer comes twice a year, but some crippled cows need to wait 3 months till the next Hooftrimming session. What would you suggest?
That is the reason why we advise farmers to also buy their own hoof trimming crush and get an introduction training in Hooftrimming. Cows that are crippled need to be cured immediately, otherwise it will cost you a lot of money.
The hoof trimmer who now visits our farm always trims till the claw bleeds. Afterwards the cows are more than one week crippled. He says that is alright, is it?
No, It is definitely time to discuss the same with your hoof trimmer or get his credentials (re)checked or find another professional hoof trimmer. However, there could be case/s where infections / wounds are too deep or chronic that might need deep digging to get rid of the seat of infection.
At least 3 weeks. If after 6 weeks the cows are still walking with the blocks, we would advise to take them off and if necessary, replace them. Also, for getting hoof blocks off, a crush is helpful, another reason why every farm needs a crush.
