The seminar will focus on lameness prevention, improving hoof health and using a daily footbath for the prevention of foot infections. Hooftrimmers can also benefit from Roger Blowey extensive experience in this field and are invited to attend a talk focussing on hooftrimming, hoof structure and hoof trimming techniques in the Kegonsa room, October 5th at 10:30.
