These meetings represent a tremendous opportunity for milk producers to hear the latest thinking on how the costly problem of lameness in dairy cattle can be controlled.
Roger Blowey BSc, BVSc, FRCVS, FRAgS, Specialist in cattle Health and Production (Dairy), is recognised internationally as one of the world’s leading veterinary practitioners, operating in the field on Lameness.
His presentation will address the factors causing lameness in dairy cows, how the problem of lameness can be actively tackled when it arises and how it can be reduced long term. He will also be highlighting the devastating new syndrome of ‘non-healing hoof lesions’.
