Tipper Crush For Lameness Prevention and Treatment
Tipper Crush – The Modern approach to Preventing and treating Lameness in Cattle
Introducing the Tipper Crush, a cutting-edge and modern approach to addressing lameness issues in dairy farms. This innovative device plays a pivotal role in both treating and preventing lameness, offering numerous benefits for efficient and stress-free cattle management.
The Tipper Crush operates by gently tipping the entire cow onto her side, securely immobilising all four feet for thorough examination. This method allows for the early detection of foot problems before lameness sets in, enabling prompt treatment for issues in all four feet. Compared to the traditional method of individually lifting and treating each foot, the Tipper Crush minimizes stress on the cow.
Lame Bulls
The versatility of the Tipper Crush extends to handling bulls, allowing routine assessments including Pre-mating Assessments. For Dairy bulls, the application of rubber blocks to their claws can also help prevent failure during the mating period.
Beyond lameness treatment, the Tipper Crush provides a unique advantage by facilitating preventative hoof care, particularly beneficial before cows are dried off. By trimming the claws and optimising walking angles, this preventive measure addresses concerns like axial wall cracks, especially pertinent for farms prone to overgrown toes or “slipper” claws leading to lameness.
Other Tipper Crush Benefits
Additionally, the Tipper Crush seamlessly supports teat seal application, a proven technique for reducing mastitis incidence, especially in heifers.
Mastitis and lameness represent significant costs in the dairy industry, and bull failure can be a severe setback for beef farmers.
