Episode 113 - Preventing Lameness: A Farmer-Led Initiative
Is lameness a problem on your dairy farm? Despite decades of effort, lameness remains a challenge for dairy farmers. This podcast explores a ground-breaking European Innovation Partnership (EIP) Wales project that tackles this issue head-on. Join us as we delve into practical interventions, and discover how Welsh dairy farmers are working together to improve lameness levels. This podcast is presented by project lead vet Sara Pedersen of Farm Dynamics Ltd. She is joined by three farms from the Newport and Monmouthshire area who have all looked at finding actionable strategies to implement on their farms to reduce lameness prevalence within their herds.
