Tipper Crush for Lameness Prevention and Treatment
Tipper Crush for Lameness Prevention and Treatment
Tipper Crush for SA Farms
Introducing the Tipper Crush, a cutting-edge and modern approach to addressing lameness issues in dairy farms. This innovative device plays a pivotal role in both treating and preventing lameness, offering numerous benefits for efficient and stress-free cattle management.
The Tipper Crush operates by gently tipping the entire cow onto her side, securely immobilizing all four feet for thorough examination. This method allows for the early detection of foot problems before lameness sets in, enabling prompt treatment for issues in all four feet. Compared to the traditional method of individually lifting and treating each foot, the Tipper Crush minimizes stress on the cow.

Beyond lameness treatment, the Tipper Crush provides a unique advantage by facilitating preventative hoof care, particularly beneficial before cows are dried off. By trimming the claws and optimizing walking angles, this preventive measure addresses concerns like axial wall cracks, especially pertinent for farms prone to overgrown toes or “slipper” claws leading to lameness.
The versatility of the Tipper Crush extends to handling bulls, allowing routine assessments for Pre-mating Assessments. For bulls, the application of slippers or pads to their claws helps prevent failure during the mating period.
