Lameness Scoring

Identifying a lame cow can be tricky if you’re unsure of what you’re looking for. Check out this video, produced for DairyNZ’s Healthy Hoof Programme, which gives farmers a great visual aid not only to identify lame cows, but score lameness on a scale of zero to three. Learning to observe cows in the early stages of lameness, and treating them as soon as possible in The Wrangler, saves time and cost and is essential for animal welfare.
