The Hoofcount Footbath not only reduces lameness in your herd but also helps to save on unnecessary costs. The footbath will be set up to perform in the exact way in which you would like it to. The counter, chemical concentration and frequency will be set by our engineer so that you do not have to worry about the Footbath. The running costs of the bath are very low and as long as the bath is serviced every year, very little should go wrong. The bath is designed with the best quality materials and therefore the investment in these baths are more than worth the one off payment for a life time of reduced vet and labour bills. Use this app to: - Calculate the costs of lameness in your herd - Estimate the cost of running a footbath on your farm - Connect to your Hoofcount Footbath - Contact Hoofcount - Chemical ordering - Service and support Our Story: The Hoofcount footbath was developed and introduced to the UK market in 2012/2013. Designed with simplicity in mind, it now has a sustained reputation in the UK as the Market leader in Effective and Reliable Footbathing. There are very few moving parts to the Footbath and once the bath is installed correctly, should work without too much problem. There are 2 main sizes of Hoofcount bath, but as we make these ourselves, we are able to offer a bespoke service to customers and this is particularly helpful on Robot systems where space might be a high consideration. Each Hoofcount bath is designed, folded and built in our continuously growing workshops in Lancashire. As a family business we pride ourselves in this as well as our bond with farmers all across the world. The Hoofcount baths are now being shipped to many countries across the world including Canada, Germany, Sweden and the Czech Republic. The number of baths we are making is more than doubling each year and as it does so does our business. Anthony Marsh, Dairy Engineer and Founder of Hoofcount Ltd
