Plastic models used in the large animal anatomy course as part of an active learning exercise. I also envision making a hybrid of plastic and foam of the “standing” model (hoof rigid, foot pliable) so this model can also be used in a clinical skills course for trimming out a hoof abscess, bandaging a wound, and applying a digital block to the unaffected claw.
These models were created by casting specimens from a dissected bull calf and standing Jersey cow. Alginate was originally used as a mold to create a plastic cast of the foot. A silicone mold was made and used to replicate the original cast in sufficient numbers for use in our course.
