The Healthy Hoof programme focused on the prevention of lameness with information and training on management and treatment. The programme was a simple, stepwise approach to managing lameness on dairy farms caused by physical factors. This practical and interactive workshop was designed to give participants the skills to deliver the Healthy Hoof programme to help their farming clients prevent and reduce lameness.

The New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA) now offer their own lameness training. To read more about the course and how to register, click the button below:
