Ruminant Hoof Care

Hoof care is vital for the health of your Cattle, Sheep, and Goats.

Veterinary ruminant hoof care is a crucial aspect of herd health management for cattle, sheep, and goats. Unlike single-hooved horses, ruminants have cloven hooves, which provide stability but are also more prone to developing imbalances and problems if not properly cared for. Our veterinarians offer routine examinations to identify any early signs of issues like overgrown hooves, cracks, abscesses, or infections. In some cases, we recommend trimming hooves, using specialized tools to remove excess growth and restore proper balance to the foot. This helps prevent lameness, pain, and potential secondary complications that could impact the animal's mobility, feed intake, and overall well-being.
