Hoof Signals by Jan Hulsen
Our cows’ hooves frequently cause health problems, and cows that become lame, however slightly, will eat, drink and lie down less. They will therefore produce less milk and it will be more difficult to get them in calf. This is why it is important for every livestock farmer to consider the health of his cows’ hooves in terms of the design and construction of paths and barns, in order to keep their hooves clean and dry, and in terms of daily tasks such as feeding, moving and treating the animals. A good manager focuses on prevention by getting hoof health under control with the help of specialist vets, hoof trimmers and feed advisors, so his time is not constantly taken up in treating lame cows. He thinks ahead! Hoof Signals provides practical knowledge with easily understandable descriptions, clear drawings and lots of photographs.
