Mobility matters to our cattle and our academy

By DAVE PHILLIPS CLA and Synergy Farm Health Lead Vet Tech

For those not familiar with our Cattle Lameness Academy (CLA), this is the name we use for everything cattle lameness and mobility related –research, consultancy, foot trimming training and education. It is a nationwide initiative run and coordinated by a team here at Synergy consisting of a mixture of vets, vet techs and support staff. The events and resources produced are available to everyone. Pre-covid the CLA was running a number of lameness events, on farm farmer training workshops, producing training videos (Mobility Matters), getting involved in and supporting some of the latest cattle lameness research projects. The CLA ran a bi-annual Lameness Seminar which were very popular.

For 2023 the Cattle Lameness Academy is being re-invigorated to all that it was before and more. The leadership team has changed slightly. I have stepped into the lead role for the CLA with the support of the Synergy Mobility Team. We have already been delivering some farmer training in recent months with digital dermatitis workshops and discussion group meetings.
