New Zealand is a stunning destination. Please visit our conference website for links to the Official New Zealand website and for more information on our host city Rotorua.
This is the pre-eminent international conference on the most important welfare problem of ruminants.
With a unique New Zealand perspective, this conference will embrace lameness in all farmed species and cover all aspects from molecular genetics to the development and monitoring of intervention programmes.
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
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
