Abstract :
Hoof trimming as a part of hoof health management is one of the important parts of herd health management system. Timing of hoof trimming and its method are the main subjects that must be known for an efficient hoof trimming program. In the current study, the different suggested timings of trimming (around drying, early, middle and end of lactation) have been reviewed. Although the need for more research to find the best time for hoof trimming is yet necessary, an appropriate timing is suggested based on the current literature. Also the unique role of accurate data recording system in time management of trimming is mentioned.
