Project description

This project investigated claw care on dairy farms. On the one hand, it was investigated whether the currently applied method of claw care is still valid under current conditions, and on the other hand, whether innovative tools such as the use of a heat camera can be used to improve the detection of claw disorders. In addition, the use of disinfectants in claw baths was also investigated.
