Why tackling lameness matters more than you think.

Lameness is one of the most costly and underestimated challenges in dairy farming. Nearly 90% of cows will experience it at least once, and it’s a leading cause of involuntary culling, responsible for around 15% of cow losses worldwide. Because it affects almost everything a cow does; walking, eating, lying down, showing heat and recovering, the impact on herd performance is far greater than many realise. It also carries a heavy financial and welfare toll: extra labour and treatment costs, 10–30% lower milk production, reduced fertility, higher risk of other health issues, premature culling and lower overall welfare scores. For most farms, lameness is eroding productivity long before it becomes visible.

“When we installed the SmartSight system, one of the most impressive things about it was, it was picking up cows that we wouldn’t have considered lame.”
