Join us at one of our on-farm meetings to help you take steps to enhance your herd’s mobility while out grazing and boost profits and public perceptions.

Lameness can be expensive, requiring additional staff time and treatment costs, while also leading to lower yields and shorter productive lifespans for your cows.

This event offers practical, actionable ideas you can implement on your farm to improve cow welfare, even when time and resources are tight.

You’ll hear from a mobility mentor who will share best practices about identifying and applying the right solutions for your cows.

Then, the host farmer will share how they improved lameness rates on their farm.

• The key factors that affect mobility while grazing
• Practical ideas for addressing lameness
• The benefits of our Healthy Feet Lite programme
• The steps the host farm took to improve mobility

If you want to create a future where your cows move with confidence and ease, leading to happier and healthier lives, then this meeting is for you.

Sarah Tomlinson, AHDB Lead Veterinary Science Expert, said:

“We understand the challenges dairy farmers face, and through these events, we are equipping farmers with the tools and knowledge they need to improve cow mobility while working within the constraints of their daily operations.”
