136 hours for a basic course in cattle hoof care? Yes, and it's engaging: The basic course is very comprehensive, covering not only cattle anatomy but also feeding, diseases, bandaging, and tool use. The procedures are explained and practiced on cadaver hooves before moving on to practical application on live animals (sheep, goats, and cattle). Other important topics include animal welfare, legal aspects, occupational safety and accident prevention, stress-free animal handling, herd management, disease prevention and hygiene, as well as the documentation of hoof care work.

Building upon the basic course, Raumberg-Gumpenstein also offers the opportunity to complete a certificate course for inter-company/commercial hoof trimmers , and an internationally recognized diploma course for instructors of functional hoof trimming is also held very successfully. Internationally renowned experts such as Univ. Prof. Johann Kofler and Robert Pesenhofer are the cornerstones of this training.

With this attractive and highly topical training package for farmers and interested parties, Raumberg-Gumpenstein makes a valuable contribution to improving animal health and thus also sustainably promotes animal welfare on cattle farms.
