Compromised mobility continues to be one of the top three cattle health and welfare challenges facing UK producers. It impacts herd fertility, productivity, profitability and sustainability.  
Losses attributed to poor mobility contribute to the environmental impact of livestock farming.
It is calculated to
cost the UK dairy farming industry £250 million per year in treatment costs and lost production.

The aim of Stride, based around an industry wide survey, is to identify current producers’ views on mobility, its impact on herd health and welfare, and ultimately the business bottom line. 
The outcomes will be used to communicate clear actions to help producers take steps to reduce lameness in their herds and to mitigate the costs and consequences to their businesses.

STRIDING FORWARD TOGETHER TO IMPROVE DAIRY COW MOBILITY
