This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: case 1, 6.Trim down to the white sole, following a growth ring parallel to the hairline 7.trim away ragged edges of inner hoof wall between the two halves of the hoof 8.Trim the soft heel, one tiny slice at a time, until the heel is the same level as the toe., Prophylactic hoof trimming Method Cow, Doe .1. Restrain goat in a standing position by either placing goat on a milking stand (m.o) 2. If using a rope halter, be sure to tie them off with a quick release knot and pay attention during the trimming process (m.o), 6.Sole thickness should be measured at the tip of the toe where the cut was made. Anything greater than 0.25 inch (0.625 cm) in depth can be removed. 7. Sole should be trimmed flat from front to back. Avoid removing horn from the heel of the inside hind claws. 8.Heel depth should be measured at the heel-wall juncture (outside of claw) from just below the hairline to thebottom of the sole. Only trim horn from the heel when this measurement is more than 1.5 inches (3.75 cm), 2. Keep feet resting on a portable stock or a solid board for convenience in trimming hooves. 3. Start by measuring from the front wall (just below the hairline to the tip of toe) of the inside claw on the hind feet. 4.Start with inside claw and trim to the appropriate length – 7.5cm for a small suckler cow or 8-8.5cm for larger breeds., 4. First use a brush to remove surface dirt & then with the point of closed shears, carefully scrape away debris. 5.Pry open & snip off the outer hoof wall flap folded under the hoof 6.Trim down to the white sole, following a growth ring parallel to the hairline, 8.Heel depth should be measured at the heel-wall juncture (outside of claw) from just below the hairline to thebottom of the sole. Only trim horn from the heel when this measurement is more than 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) 9. Evaluate claw and heel balance: hold front walls of both claws together and place a flat object across both toes, across both heels,and from toe-to-heel on both claws. No light should be visible underneath the flat surface for heel and toe-to-heel measurements Note: Once the toe is trimmed to the correct length, trim sole flat and spare the heel, 2. If using a rope halter, be sure to tie them off with a quick release knot and pay attention during the trimming process (m.o) 3. Grasp one leg by the pastern (ankle) & bend it back 4. First use a brush to remove surface dirt & then with the point of closed shears, carefully scrape away debris., Prophylactic hoof trimming Method Doe, Cow 1. Secure the animal with the help of casting rope and throw it on the soft ground by Ruff’s method & tie the animal’s feet. 2. Keep feet resting on a portable stock or a solid board for convenience in trimming hooves., 4.Start with inside claw and trim to the appropriate length – 7.5cm for a small suckler cow or 8-8.5cm for larger breeds. 5.Trim the inside claw on hind feet to the correct length, then trim the outside claws to match. Repeat this process when trimming the front feet, starting with the outer claw first 6.Sole thickness should be measured at the tip of the toe where the cut was made. Anything greater than 0.25 inch (0.625 cm) in depth can be removed., 8.Trim the soft heel, one tiny slice at a time, until the heel is the same level as the toe. 9.Once you’ve leveled their hoof, evaluate the goat’s dew claws (the claws protruding from above their hoof on the back of their leg) and trim them if necessary. 10. Stop trimming if sole shows pink; meaning you are close to the foot’s blood supply. If bleeding occurs, sprinkle the area with blood stop powder.
