A practical course for dairy farmers who want to improve mobility and reduce the impacts of lameness
Mobility scoring is a powerful tool that can be used by the farm team, it allows for early intervention and swift resolution of subtle challenges to hoof health
This hands-on workshop gives you the skills, confidence and accreditation to use mobility scoring as a powerful management tool to improve hoof health on farm.
Why this matters to your farm
Lameness is one of the biggest hidden costs in dairy farming.
- Catch cows at the earliest stages of
Make treatments easier to deliver, and more effective in terms of time and cost. - Ensure you are compliant
Meet buyer and assurance scheme expectations with confidence. - Farm specific tailored approaches
High rainfall, grazing systems and concrete pressure demand practical, region-specific protocols not textbook theory. - Reduce long-term risk
Early detection means fewer chronic cases, fewer repeat offenders and better herd longevity.
What you’ll gain from the course
RoMS Accreditation
Complete the required training and calibration to join the official Register of Mobility Scorers (RoMS). Provide quality-assured data for herd decisions and milk buyers.
Resolve challenges earlier
Learn to recognise subtle gait changes that are often missed before they become costly clinical cases.
A faster, more professional system
Streamline your scoring process so it fits efficiently into your routine and becomes part of the “normal” for your herd.
Practical EDPET protocols
Implement the Early Detection, Prompt Effective Treatment protocol, this is the cornerstone of any hoof health success story.
Better herd KPIs
Use standardised metrics to set measurable targets and track real improvement in mobility performance. Understand how to see if your interventions are actually supporting hoof health.
Real-Farm Scoring Session
Step onto a working dairy farm to assess cows in action. Learn exactly what to look for, how to score consistently, and how to spot subtle early signs that enable for the most effective outcomes.
The Bottom Line
This is a technical, boots-on workshop designed for real farms.
You’ll leave able to:
- Identify the earliest stages of gait change
- Understand the most effective protocols to get good mobility outcomes
- Reduce the impacts of lameness across your herd
- Understand hoof health data and how it can be used to monitor trends and track progress.
Mobility scoring is more than a compliance tool; it allows for substantial improvements to hoof health to be made on farm.
