”Knowing about hooves and limbs gives you a very good knowledge about animal welfare, stable systems, anatomy etc. Basic knowledge that will come in handy either you want to work with pigs, cows ore small ruminants.”

- Birgitte

EMILIE, 1ST MAIN COURSE

”If you’re interested in ever having goats, sheep, cows or pigs, it is very important to know how important hoof health is.

It is one of the biggest problems in livestock production when it comes to both welfare and economics, and it is therefore crucial that we have a general focus on how to prevent these diseases.

You will learn when your animals are especially vulnerable and how to design the animal environment to take this into account. You will also learn about the anatomy of the hoof and you will try out hoof trimming for yourself.

A general knowledge about the importance of hoof health is really the aim of this course. ”
