Farmer Feedback

What farmers say about DairyNZ's Healthy Hoof Programme:

• “The programme has increased staff awareness and knowledge of lame cow management, which is key to reducing lame cows.”
• “The farm Diagnosis and Action Plan was good as a starting point for making changes on the farm, and gave us a lot of things to think about.”
• “It is good that an outside expert with fresh authority trains the staff. Staff are more responsive and it saved us time.”
• “The programme has helped to focus myself and my employees. We want healthy high producing cows, not lame cows.”
• “The Healthy Hoof recording system makes what can be a bad job, very easy.”
• “This is the only programme available that deals with lameness so thoroughly and effectively.”
• "The programme is a complete approach. It helped us to focus on the problem, and identify key factors for improvement.”
• “We designed our new shed based on the recommendations from this programme.”
