Carmarthenshire: Taking steps to enhance cow mobility

Tue, 12 Nov 2024 13:56:44 GMT

This event, part of our Confident Strides series, will help you take steps to enhance your herd’s mobility while cows are housed and at the same time boost profits and public perception.

Lameness is expensive, requiring additional time and treatment costs. It also leads to lower yields and a shorter productive cow lifespan.

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 mobility mentor Ben Blowers, who will share best practices for identifying and applying the right solutions for your cows and learn how progress has been made at Drefach Farm.

This event will cover

The key factors affecting cow mobility while housed
Managing cows on concrete
Practical ideas for reducing lameness, including footbathing and trimming protocols
Safe cow movement through feed, handling, and housing areas
Benefits of the Healthy Feet programme and lessons from Drefach Farm

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.
