ANKA, by trimmers for trimmers
ANKA group is focussed in all aspect of hoof care. From crush/chute production to functional hoof trimming. The all stainless and fully hydraulic ANKA hoof trimming crushes are the elite trim crushes in the cattle industry.
ANKA was born in late 80s as the first professional hoof trimming company in Spain by importing the first fully hydraulic crush to the country and started trimming in the north part. During the 90s we became the reference in Spain and started expanding our activities to all hoof care surrounding activities. Nowadays we export crushes and knowledge to more than 25 countries.
We maintain the innovation spirit in all our actions and we consider ourselves as a family company with global vocation.
We use the functional hoof trimming method and we teach it all over the world. ANKA group trims 70,000 cows/year. It provides an opportunity to test the crushes and facilitates feedback in order to improve.
