Claw/Hoof Check Guide Demotec The gauge with 5 functions for the right claw cut The invaluable aid, which gives practical guidance when hoof care is undertaken. The best assistance that can be given to those undertaking hoof care is the provision of practical aid and support. One such ais is the Claw-Check, developed by Dr. Kümper, which gives guidance, so that the trimming and paring of claws to maximum advantage can be achieved. This aid: controls the angle between the sole and the anterior claw wall. measures the length of the anterior claw wall. compares the height between the inside and outside claws. ensures that the correct plane of contact of the sole to the ground can be achieved. controls the slope of the sole. The Claw-Check is a claw measuring device, developed for Demotec by Dr. Kümper. lt is an aid to veterinarians, bovine podiatrists (claw-trimmers) and farmers as it gives easy practical guidance on achieving the correct form and function of the bovine hoof. With modern housing systems it is very important that regular inspection of hooves be undertaken, so that any abnormality can be identified before the onset of clinical signs. Such inspections should be undertaken at least twice a year, but ideally on three or four occasions. When trimming and paring claws for maximum function, consideration must be given to both its orthopaedic anatomy and biomechanical function - such may be termed, "functional claw trimming" and is not normally associated with aggressive cutting of the horn. The principal purpose is to ensure that weight is evenly distributed on both the inside and outside claw, and to ensure that specially endangered areas are relieved from pressure. Functional claw corrections can often be limited to producing a slope at die caudal axial third of the sole, and by reducing the overgrown outside claw of the hind limb. The use of the Demotec Claw-Check greatly simplifies the work of those undertaking hoofcare. lt i
