Better hoof health with Fleckvieh strength – genetics and mechanics

At the 2025 World Dairy Expo a very great complimentary tool was discovered for foot treatments requiring a foot block. This new idea of using a block that remains on the treated animal`s claw better and does not fall off prematurely as well as is biodegradable makes a lot if sense.

As always – the question begs: Why do I need to treat foot conditions and what can one do to decrease the incident of this variety of foot conditions?

Prevention is the Number one tool: See below the difference in foot anatomy and disease resistance of Fleckvieh due to mechanical strength as well as an article on footbath technology.

Proper hoof trimming is always important but if your animals are equipped with a proper fat pad due to better body condition – they have a built in defense mechanism! Hence the choice of true Fleckvieh genetics again is undeniably advantageous.
