Lameness in Ruminants

The 22^nd International Symposium and 14^th International Conference on Lameness in Ruminants will be held this year in Venice. 

The central themes of the conference will be the improvement of “mobility” and animal welfare, aspects closely connected to productivity and profitability. Promoting “planet conservation” is the other issue, which has by now become pressing and with which we will deal often also in our sector.   

The conference will be structured with in-depth workshops on various topics of practical interest. Then there will be several keynote lectures on very relevant topics such as cow comfort, hoof trimming, infectious diseases, therapeutic options environmental friendly, new diagnostic tools (role of artificial intelligence against Digital Dermatitis) non-foot limb injuries and others… We will reserve a large space dedicated to free presentations and posters. The final day will be organized in a typical farm of the area with various practical workshops. 

As Platinum Sponsor of this key conference, Zinpro is committed to continuously improving hoof health. We invite you to join us on our booth, listen in the talks and participate to the workshops!
