Abstract
The prevalence of lameness varies hugely between farms. The benefits of improving mobility are significant, with cost savings as well as welfare being greatly improved. Communication and collaboration between the veterinarian and the foot trimmer is likely to be highly beneficial, and protocols can be created to improve treatment of lameness. The role of the veterinarian is to optimise the approach to the treatment and prevention of lameness, while monitoring the relevant data, including mobility scores and treatment records.
