Across British farms, quality produce from dedicated farmers remains the goal, despite arising challenges.
In 2023, over 11,000 tonnes of beef and nearly a billion litres of milk were produced, showcasing British Beef and Dairy farmers' crucial role in feeding the nation.
Modern technologies, like advanced hoof trimming, help farmers invest in livestock well-being. Having trimmed hooves since 2001, I know high standards of cattle welfare satisfy both farmers and consumers.Lameness leads to significant economic costs due to medical treatments, reduced milk production, and wasted feed, as affected cows may refuse to eat or drink.
Proper hoof care enhances both cattle welfare and farm productivity. Healthy hooves reduce soil erosion and support pasture biodiversity by improving water and nutrient absorption, aiding carbon storage. Economically, treating hoof lameness and infections prevents cattle losses and boosts sustainability, helping farmers adapt to climate change.
