Organized in cooperation of the DVG and the Clinic for Ruminants and Swine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Leipzig
Topics • Animal friendly, low stress cattle handling • Hygiene and biosecurity in the management of claw health • Clinical diagnostics of orthopedic diseases on individual animal level – nomenclature of the most relevant claw diseases and further diagnostic options (ultrasonography and x-ray) • Claw trimming in deformed claws and animals with mal-positioned limbs • Treatment of uncomplicated and complicated claw lesions • Claw surgery • Pain and stress management • Documentation of claw trimming and treatment and analysis of claw health data in the herd health management • Organization of the claw trimming area – work safety • Work in an innovative treatment area in a commercial dairy farm • Organization of claw herd health management on a dairy farm
