Farm animal foot and hoof care

The importance of farm animal foot and hoof care for your livestock

Why is foot health a priority?

Limb health is the foundation of productivity and welfare in farming environments. Farm animal foot and hoof care prevents lameness that heavily penalises farms. An animal suffering from foot pain reduces its movements towards the feeder or the drinking trough. In dairy cows, this causes an immediate drop in milk production. For sheep and goats, poorly maintained claws promote the onset of foot rot. Our veterinary products help maintain strong, healthy horn all year round. This protects your herd against bacterial infections linked to damp bedding.

Tools and treatments adapted to each species

The field of farm animal foot and hoof care requires precision equipment. We offer targeted products for trimming cattle, sheep and goats. Ruminants' claws need regular trimming to avoid painful weight-bearing imbalances. Our gels, blue sprays and footbath solutions thoroughly cleanse the heel and sole. These treatments act against digital dermatitis and interdigital necrosis, which are common in housed livestock. By using our specialised care products, you ensure greater longevity for your breeding stock and farm animals. Each solution is selected for its clinical effectiveness and ease of application on farms.

Veterinary expertise in farm animal foot and hoof care

Maintaining the integrity of horn and claws

Hoof horn is a natural barrier that needs to be nourished and protected over the long term. Farm animal foot and hoof care includes dietary supplements rich in biotin and zinc. These nutrients stimulate the growth of dense horn that is resistant to abrasive or damp ground. In addition, applying tar or protective balms shields the hoof from external pathogens. Well-maintained horn reduces the risk of cracks and fissures in the wall. Our experts validate formulas that respect the physiological balance of the animal's locomotor system. Rigorous maintenance drastically reduces emergency veterinary costs linked to foot abscesses.

Trimming equipment for professional management

Carrying out farm animal foot and hoof care yourself requires sturdy, sharp tools. Our online shop offers hoof knives, claw shears and high-quality testing pincers. These tools allow for precise functional and preventive trimming of your cows, sheep or goats. Removing excess horn restores correct alignment and an even distribution of pressure. This prevents premature wear of the joints and ligaments of the limbs. Regular trimming, combined with local antiseptic care, remains the best strategy against chronic lameness. We support farmers in this preventive approach for a herd in perfect health.

Frequently asked questions about farm animal foot and hoof care

How can I care for my cow's hooves?

Care begins with a regular visual inspection during milking or at the feed barrier. Carefully clean the hoof to remove dirt and manure embedded between the claws. Then apply an antiseptic spray or protective gel to areas showing redness or erosion. In the case of a deeper lesion, a specific dressing with a disinfectant product may be necessary to isolate the wound. If the cow is severely lame, call on a professional hoof trimmer to perform immediate corrective trimming. Preventive use of footbaths is also strongly recommended for the whole herd.

Do cows need care for their hooves?

Yes, domestic cows absolutely need farm animal foot and hoof care on a regular basis. On farms, natural horn wear is often slower than its growth rate, especially on soft bedding. Without human intervention, claws grow excessively long, causing back pain and difficulty feeding. Trimming at least twice a year is essential to restore normal physiological alignment. In addition, the constant humidity of buildings promotes infections that must be treated with regular hygiene care. Strict foot monitoring is a guarantee of welfare and profitability for the farmer.

Who cares for cows' hooves?

Daily and preventive care is generally provided by the farmer themselves using suitable veterinary products. For more technical interventions, a professional hoof trimmer is called in, using specific restraint crates. This technician has the expertise needed to trim the horn without injuring the living tissue of the foot. The veterinarian, for their part, intervenes for serious conditions requiring surgery or targeted antibiotic therapy. Collaboration between the farmer, the trimmer and the veterinarian ensures effective overall management of the herd's foot health. Farm animal foot and hoof care is therefore a shared responsibility.
