I am a hoof trimmer from the Orkney Isles, Scotland. I have been trimming for 3 years covering mainland Orkney, the outer isles and Caithness on the Scottish Mainland. My interest in hoof trimming came from working as a dairy herdswoman on a local farm. After travelling to Cheshire and completing a professional hoof trimming course I came home and Herd Care Orkney was set up. Every day is a learning curve and I can’t wait to gain more knowledge at the IHTC 2025!.

DIGIDERM® brings a Claw Caring Concept for Dairy Cows which is Effective, Environment Friendly, Antibiotic -free and Easy to Use.
Various clinical trials, where the “Digiderm 3,2,1 method” is consistently used, clearly show an improvment of the claw health. The results confirm that using Digiderm in footbaths is more effective than formalin in prevention of digital dermatitis (DD).
The Digiderm® concept also includes the use of a series of practical products for the claw trimmer. These products (spray and gel) are all based on the Digiderm technology with means lowering the pH and adding chelated minerals in a way that creates antibiotic- free, effective and environment friendly products which can be used by the claw trimmer under safe working conditions.

Menno Holzhauer studied at Utrecht University where he graduated in 1984. He has practiced in the northern part of the country with the focus on cattle, but actually he practiced all species in the outdoor practice. During that time he already looked at different allergic reactions in cattle, mainly on feed components. In 1999 he started working at GD Animal Health in Deventer at the Ruminant Health Department with focus on Lameness on (Dairy) Cattle. At the start of his career at GD, he was more or less directly involved in serious Foot and Mouth Disease problems (clinical diagnostics mainly).
After the FMD crisis he could focus on claw health in Dutch dairy cows, resulting in a thesis in 2006, titled Epidemiological aspects of Different Claw Disorders in Dairy Cattle in The Netherlands. During that time he stetted up a Dutch Recording and Scoring system for claw trimmers in cooperation with DTC Oenkerk and the Dutch Hoof Trimmers Association. The objective was to give the farmer better insight in the effect of (his/her) herd management on claw health. Unfortunately this is not recognized by most farmers and > 80, do not make recording during regular claw trimming and that is one of the reasons we hardly make progress on lameness in dairy cows.
Menno has further worked on improvement of claw health by more than 20 publications on claw health in National and International Scientific Journals and by presentations at International Conferences. The most recent product of this is an evidence based bulk-milk test on biotin, manganese, zinc and Treponema to support dairy farmers in preventing claw disorders. Results of these will be presented at the conference.
Hobbies: cycling, hiking, gardening and meeting friends.

Aaron blev introduceret til mælkeproduktion i 2000 efter at have tjent 4 år i den amerikanske flåde, da han tog et job hos en lille mælkeproducent. Det var på denne gård, hvor han fandt sin passion for at arbejde med kvæg. Fascineret af mange aspekter på gården, interesserede han sig især for klovbeskæring og besluttede at starte sin klovbeskæringsvirksomhed i 2004.
Efter at have afsluttet et kursus om den hollandske metode (the Dutch Method), fortsatte Aaron med at studere anatomi og knoglestruktur i kvægkloven for at forfine hans beskæringsteknik, bedre kendt som “The Balance Method”.
I 2014 grundlagde Aaron, Midwestern Hoof Trimming School og er siden blevet bedt om at konsultere store mælkefarme over hele verden. Aaron har trænet hundredvis af klovbeskærere med forskellige færdigheder i ”The Balance Method”, fra nybegyndere til erfarne veteraner.
Han er blevet udvalgt til at tale på konferencer samt universiteter globalt og har været vært for workshops i 7 forskellige lande. Aaron fortsætter med at udøve sin lidenskab som aktiv klovbeskær og servicerer flere store lokale mælkefarme i Wisconsin.
Aaron er gift, far til seks børn og er sidenhen også blevet bedstefar. Han nyder at tilbringe tid sammen med sin familie og deltage i udendørs aktiviteter som jagt, camping og fiskeri. Hans andre passioner inkluderer træbearbejdning og natur/overlevelses-færdigheder.

Jessie studerede veterinærmedicin ved Utrecht Universitet fra 2017-2021 med fokus på husdyr og folkesundhed. Hun udførte sit kandidatstudie i Melbourne, Australien – hvor hun gennemførte et 3 måneders forskningsprojekt, hvor hun undersøgte forekomsten af digital dermatitis blandt kvæg i Victoria, Australien. Dette arbejde er blevet offentliggjort i The Australian Veterinary Journal (10.1111 / avj.12859). I en praktikperiode i 2018 gennemførte hun endnu et forskningsprojekt ved Utrecht Universitet for at undersøger forskellige behandlingsmetoder for digital dermititis. Denne undersøgelse er i øjeblikket under gennemgang til offentliggørelse.
Ved siden af klovsundhed, undersøgte hun uafhængigt udbredelsen af yverkløft dermatitis og effekten af en behandling med en kobber og zink-spray. Resultaterne vil blive præsenteret ved dette års klovbeskæringskonference.
I øjeblikket arbejder Jessie som kvæg-dyrlæge i det sydlige Holland. Udover køer behandler hun får, geder og alpakaer. Hun er også meget interesseret i heste og har to sportsheste som rides i dressur, distance og jagt. Udover heste ejer hun en hund ved navn Broome, som er en dejlig australsk hyrdehund.
Hobbyer: Jessie elsker at tilbringe tid udendørs; trail running, mountain biking og landevejscykling.
