Why Hoof Trimming is Important
Hoof health is one of the most important aspects of dairy farm management. Overgrown or damaged hooves can lead to lameness, reduced feed intake, lower milk production and higher veterinary expenses.
Routine hoof trimming helps maintain proper hoof balance, improves mobility and supports overall herd health. It also contributes to better reproductive performance and extends the productive life of dairy animals.
