Lameness in dairy cows

Lameness is one of the most costly production diseases in dairy farming today. On average, a single case of digital lameness costs around 515 NZD. Lameness is a multifactorial disease. Many factors, which often interact, are known to contribute to the onset of clinical symptoms.

Good nutritional management together with improving the environment and management of cows can help reduce the incidence of many common types of lameness. Recent studies show that ROVIMIX® Biotin can help reduce the risk of dairy cow lameness, which contributes to better profitability and animal welfare.
