Blocking helps regardless of the injury or condition to keep the
cow comfortable and maintain her optimal production. Similar to how humans use
crutches to limit the use of an injured foot in order to heal, cows rely on a
similar approach called blocking. This approach helps to allow abscesses, claw
injuries or other conditions to heal. The hoof blocks are applied to a cow’s
healthy claw to elevate the injured one off the ground. This way the injured
claw will heal faster and alleviate pain. As the feet and claws support the
cow’s entire body weight, it is important to use a good and durable quality
hoof block. The Vettec hoof blocks are made of high end quality products and
offer the needed stability and comfort. Sold by the each.
