Blocking helps regardless of the injury or condition to keep the cow comfortable and maintain her optimal production. Similar to how humans use crutches to limit the use of an injured foot in order to heal, cows rely on a similar approach called blocking. This approach helps to allow abscesses, claw injuries or other conditions to heal. The hoof blocks are applied to a cow’s healthy claw to elevate the injured one off the ground. This way the injured claw will heal faster and alleviate pain. As the feet and claws support the cow’s entire body weight, it is important to use a good and durable quality hoof block. The Bovi-Bond hoof blocks are made of high end quality products, have the patented claw shape and offer the needed stability and comfort.
Bovi-Bond has unique ergonomic designed hoof blocks made from high-quality products. The block shape allows to improve the necessary stability and comfort needed for fast recovery.
Helpfull treatment Blocking is a helpful treatment to use when claws are overtrimmed and for any injured claw.
Blocking options For each situation or injury there is a blocking option in wood, rubber or bio degradable material to give each cow the best treatment.
Accelerated healing With a block durable placed on the healthy claw, the affected claw has the necessary elevation and comfort to heal properly.
Keeps laminitis out Keeping the animal’s health as a top priority, dairy farmers help ensure the productivity of the herd.

Blocking is more than just gluing on a block. Using the right blocking option can make the difference in the healing proces. It is important for dairy farmers and hoof trimmers to consider the benefits of the blocking options for the cows they treat
Bovi-Bond has hoof blocks for cows in wood, rubber and bio degradable material. Discover the benefits of each option:
The benefits of choosing
Wooden blocks
Wooden blocks provide protection and comfort at a lower cost. Wood reacts well to bonding adhesives due to its rough surface and can last anywhere from three-to-four weeks. The blocks eventually fall off claws naturally, eliminating the need for hoof trimmers to go back and remove them.
Rubber blocks provide traction and comfort for wet and slippery surfaces. These blocks are made out of a durable compound with a unique surface pattern and deliver the extra cushion needed for a cow to feel at ease during the healing process. The rubber blocks are durable and usually require a hoof care professional to remove them once the injury heals.
Bio blocks are made of 100% biodegradable material. They give good support and are easily glued to the bovine claw. By using a bio block you ensure quick recovery and also contribute to a greener future.
Working with Bovi-Bond products is easy and effective application guaranteed. The good news is that it takes only a few easy steps to apply a hoof block. And, the application is strong, quick-bonding and there is no need to mix the adhesive.
