Bonding adhesive keeps lame cows mobile

New 30-second block bond adhesive aims to help farmers keep herd performing at full potential

A 30-second block bond adhesive is being promoted in the UK to help dairy farmers keep their herd performing to its full potential.

Bovi-Bond Block Adhesivehas been used by dairy farmers in the US and Netherlands and is a fast-setting adhesive used to glue blocks on bovine claws, a task that can be tackled by a vet, hoof care contractor or farmer.

To use, clean the cow’s problem foot, then trim, rasp and balance the claw in the usual way before thoroughly drying with a heat gun or hair dryer. Then apply Bovi-Bond to a block, either wooden or polyurethane depending on ground conditions.

Place the block on the claw and hold in place for 30 seconds before allowing the cow to put weight on the foot after a further two to three minutes elevation.

The company says it does not produce fumes or smells and no mixing required. Bovi-Bond is distributed by Agrihealth Ltd, Farrell Supplies, BD Supplies and Steve Paul. For further details, visit www.bovibond.com

Sherri - Hi there,My friend hokeod me up w/your site just last week. I've been browsing through it tonight, and it looks like a wealth of wonderful insight and knowledge you're sharing with us. Thank you for that. I am 1/3 of the way through an into Photography course for SLR cameras, and I'm still very much overwhelmed with the information, and the features of my camera. I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to blog and help people like me along. I would love to join in the contest, but am still quite a ways away from that, plus I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada I look forward to seeing other people's entries though.March 22, 2010 10:41 pm
