The starting point of the initiative was to launch a major, nationwide survey to help build a better picture of dairy cow mobility in the UK. The survey is being used to inform the development of an industry report focussed on signposting how mobility can be improved to reduce treatment costs, improve productivity and profitability.

The next stage is a series of factsheets and farm events demonstrating approaches that can be applied in commercial situations to deliver better foot health and mobility.

Stride is a not-for-profit initiative, managed by a group of industry partners and supported by many organisations across the industry.
