This tool aids anyone who trims hoofs to ensure the proper hoof angle and proportion. It does this in five different ways: 1) Allows control of the angle between the sole and anterior claw wall; 2) Examines the length of the anterior claw wall; 3) Allows height comparisons between inside and outside claws; 4) Ensures the correct contact of the sole to the ground; and 5) Controls the slope of the sole.

Labeled for: beef and dairy cattle


Species: cattle

A great tool to ensure proper hoof trimming technique.

The Claw-Check is declared in Germany as design patent.

  1. Check the angle between the sole and anterior claw wall. The angle of the Claw-Check is set at 50° allowing easy recognition of the acceptable variation of 45 – 50°.
  2. Examine the length of the anterior claw wall. The distance from the coronary band to the tip of the claw in an average sized Holstein-Friesian cow measures approximately 82 mm. Using the straight edge of the Claw-Check, the anterior wall can be shortened to a length of 75 mm by a vertical cut at the toe to the sole surface.
  3. Compare the height of the inside and outside claws. The Claw-Check should be placed under the solar surface of the hoof. Unequal claw length can then be readily appreciated, so that an adjustment can be made to allow even distribution of the weight over both claws.
  4. Ensure the correct plane of contact of the sole to the ground. The use of angle-grinders pushed against the interdigital space frequently results in a roof shaped claw profile giving rise to injuries in the axial sole area. With the help of the Claw-Check it is possible to test whether the entire surface of the anterior third of the sole makes equal contact with the ground.
  5. Control the slope of the sole. When the Claw-Check is placed onto the sole surface of both claws with its opening pointing to the heels, the V-shaped opening identifies the caudal axial third of the sole, where there should be a 5-mm gap between this area and the ground.
