Impact on cowslimb hoofThe main factors affecting health include: heredity, feed and breeding, enclosure conditions and hoof care.
The Animal Husbandry Management Department is responsible for setting the diet structure, changing the feeding mode to TMR, giving cows whatever they need, and the Supply Department uniformly purchasing feed raw materials with high cost performance to ensure the balance and stability of the diet. According to the specific conditions of each pasture, the nutrition line supervisor uses a unified nutrition standard for dairy cows, designs the diet formula for each pasture in a unified way, and focuses on controlling nutrition indicators such as the ratio of ration to prevent acidosis, each pasture can implement the feeding plan of the pastoral management department. The pastoral management department uses Binzhou screen to test TMR processing quality at least once a month to protect cattle from picky eaters. At the same time, the feeding effect shall be tested in combination with DHI test results to improve the feeding status of dairy cows, reduce metabolic diseases and ensure the health and high yield of dairy cows. In the premix, we fortify the amount of zinc to 1400ppm, which helps reduce the incidence of hoof disease.
We focus on improving the comfort of cows in the company's old pasture. We should gradually implement the improvement of hardened playground, lay thickened rubber mats, sawdust, rice husks and other bedding materials, and design bed rest in the new pasture to increase the comfort of cows, reduce the wear and damage of hoof bottom, and cause infection. In addition, mechanical scraping system, machine scraping or manual timely cleaning of manure should be used to keep the enclosure clean and sanitary and avoid soaking.
First of all, we should strengthen the cleaning and sanitation of pastures, so that cattle can live in a clean and comfortable environment and reduce the occurrence of hoof disease.

The cow's hoof is repaired twice before the dry milk and the 120th day after delivery., maintain normal hoof shape; To strengthen the daily inspection of veterinarians, found that hoof cattle only immediately repair treatment, early recovery; Use hoof protection for hoof medicine bath once or twice a week to prevent hoof disease. The elimination of hoof disease in our pasture accounts for about 11.2 per cent of the total elimination of cattle, and the annual incidence of hoof disease in the whole herd is 2.7 per cent.
The cattle house is sprinkled once or twice a week with quicklime, which can play a role in sterilization and drying and reduce the occurrence of hoof disease.
To select cost-effective frozen semen, select the bulls frozen semen with good genetic properties of limb hoof firmness, and improve the limb hoof firmness of dairy cows. Of course, no matter how good the technical measures are, they also need strong management, so we must strengthen management and ensure that the technical measures are implemented in order to reduce the incidence and elimination rate of hoof disease and achieve high and stable yield.
In terms of limb and hoof health, we mainly carry out hoof disease assessment for production section chiefs, veterinarians and health workers. At the end of the year, the hoof disease assessment is 10%, and for every one percentage point lower, we will reward production section chief 100 yuan, nutritionist 100 yuan, attending veterinarian 80 yuan and health worker 60 yuan. Compensation is implemented for exceeding the assessment index, effectively controlling the incidence of hoof disease and the elimination rate of hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof hoof disease.
Some dairy farm diet structure is not reasonable, the use of high concentrate diet, one-sided pursuit of high yield, easy to cause acidosis, hoof disease incidence is higher. In addition, many pastures pay attention to image. The ground is hardened or slate and fire brick ground is used. It is easy to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. It looks comfortable on the surface, but the actual cow comfort is poor, which easily leads to serious hoof damage. If the management is not good, the enclosure is not clean and sanitary, and the excrement and urine soak the hoof easily cause rotting hoof.
