Veehof Dairy Services

Veehof Dairy Services Ltd is a Company that is aiming to set the standard for hoofcare and cow rehabilitation in New Zealand and Australia

Fred Hoekstra (founder of VeeHof Dairy Services Ltd) has been trained in Europe and holds a diploma in hoofcare according to the Dutch method. This is a method adopted all over the world and is proven to be very effective.

To date, we are the only active Qualified Hooftrimmers in New Zealand. We currently offer this service to farmers in Canterbury, Otago and Southland in the lower half of the South Island in New Zealand.

We are also the distributors of the world renowned WOPA claw treatment crush and other hooftrimming accessories. As a matter of fact this claw treatment crush has often been copied but never been equaled.

Here at Veehof Dairy Services Ltd, we want to make the farmers more aware of the important role that good hooftrimming plays in prevention and cure of lameness in cattle. We run hooftrimming courses and hold seminars.

Veehof Dairy Services Ltd was involved in a recent research trial in which we looked at the importance of effective fibre in the diet. The results of this trial can be found on our website under Research
