The aim of the conference is to bring researchers and veterinarians together and to fuse the practical and the scientific into workable solutions for lameness, particularly for cows on pasture-based systems.
Papers on any aspect of lameness are welcomed but we are particularly interested in papers on the following topics:
- Behaviour and Lameness
- Lameness in Pasture-Based Systems : What are the problems, are they really the same?
- Getting Cows to Milking: tracks, collecting yards, parlour flow, milking once-a-day
- Extension Programmes: What levels are acceptable, how do we get there, how do 'low-lameness' farmers manage?
- Breeding the Ideal Cow: Are our current cows designed for our system?
- Lameness in Sheep: Do we know enough to have an impact?
- Footrot: New Technology – New Solutions
- Ruminant Lameness - General topics
