Hoof Baths: Effective Prevention for the Entire Herd
Infectious hoof diseases like Mortellaro often spread quickly in the barn. With a hoof bath or hoof mat, you treat the entire herd at once without having to bring each animal individually into the crush. Regular passage through a disinfectant solution cleans the interdigital space, hardens the horn, and significantly reduces the infection pressure on the farm.
Tub or Mat – What Suits You Better?
Depending on the available space and herd behavior, you have two options for the hoof bath:
- Sturdy Hoof Baths: Plastic tubs hold a lot of liquid and are easy to clean. A non-slip base profile is important so that the cattle walk through calmly. Many models can be linked lengthwise or side-by-side to build a long bath.
- Absorbent Hoof Mats: A walk-through mat is soft and is often accepted more calmly by the animals. It soaks up the solution and releases it directly into the interdigital space when stepped on.
- Fitted Mat Covers: If you use a mat, a durable cover or tray underneath protects the floor from the liquid and ensures that the solution does not drain away unused.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the best place to set up the hoof bath?
The ideal place is a narrow passage that the cows cannot avoid, for example in the return alley of the milking parlour. A non-slip and level surface is important so that the animals do not slip.
How often do I have to change the liquid?
As soon as the solution is heavily contaminated with manure, it loses its disinfecting effect. With a tub, this is usually the case after about 150 to 200 cow passes. A mat must also be rinsed and refilled regularly.
Reliable Hoof Baths for Herd Treatment
If you want to improve the hoof health of your herd, a regular hoof bath is the best way. In our range, you will find non-slip hoof baths made of tough plastic. Many tubs can be flexibly linked together to create a long bath where every cow steps in multiple times. As a gentle alternative, we offer soft walk-through mats. The animals step onto the mat without fear, which presses the solution deep into the interdigital space. Matching covers for the mats ensure that the care products stay where they are needed and do not seep into the barn floor.
