Abstract
The main objective of hoof trimming is to restore the foot to its correct form and accurate weight bearing surfaces (Blowey, 1993). Furthermore, trimming is applied as a means to cure diseases and lameness of the foot. Hoof care for shaping up the foot is usually carried out either by time - for example every cow once a year - or by necessity - all those animals with very long and overgrown claws. This observational study was aimed to investigate how long the influence of trimming lasts when applied for the purpose of restoring the hoof to its correct shape.
