Healthy Hoof Nail Treatment 30 ml

Product Information

The white line is the inner layer of the wall. It is softer and fibrous in structure and light in color; white in a freshly trimmed hoof, yellowish or gray after exposure to air and dirt. From the underside of the healthy hoof, it is seen as a thin line joining the sole and the walls. The white line grows out from the laminar connections. Any visible derangement of the white line indicates some important derangement of laminar connections that fix the walls to the underlying P3 bone. Since the white line is softer than both the walls and the sole, it wears fast where it appears on the surface; it appears as a subtle groove between the sole and the walls, often with some debris or sand inside.

Forelimb position significantly affected the mediolateral joint balance of the interphalangeal joints of horses. Thus, it is crucial that the forelimbs of horses be squarely positioned when dorsopalmar radiographs are obtained for accurate evaluation of interphalangeal joint space and balance. This calculator helps farmers to calculate the impact of lameness on their farm business, understand the breakdown of the lameness costs as well as the extra profit potential of reducing lameness through Healthy Feet or Healthy Feet Lite. This supplement includes biotin, plus a broad range of micronutrients that improve the efficiency of the hoof supplement. This is located at the top of the hoof and is responsible for creating horn that makes up the hoof wall.Solounias, Nikos; Danowitz, Melinda; Stachtiaris, Elizabeth; Khurana, Abhilasha; Araim, Marwan; Sayegh, Marc; Natale, Jessica (2018).

This concentrated supplement promotes speedy hoof growth. It is well suited for horses on high-energy diets. Feed 500g of Healthy Hooves per 100kg of your horse's bodyweight. Fibre weighs very little compared to mixes or cubes. It is important to weigh your scoop to ensure that you are feeding the correct amount. A large Stubbs scoop holds approxiamtely 500grams. How To Get The Most Out Of Feeding Healthy Hooves Great care must be taken when selecting a farrier, so ask your vet for recommendations. Correct trimming and shoeing is vital to the horse’s welfare, and any mistakes can lead to serious, lasting damage. The white line forms where the hoof wall meets the sole of the foot. It’s the only visible part of the horse’s laminae; it’s therefore very important to monitor the white line closely for stretching or signs of infection. Stretching may occur due to poor foot balance, limb conformation, incorrect (uneven) weight bearing, poor riding, poor farriery and an overweight horse. Stretching can also allow bacteria to become trapped within the hoof wall causing an infection known as white line disease, commonly referred to as seedy toe.

I have always had very thin nails and for the past 10 years or so they have also been flaking/peeling so I could never grow my nails.Environmental threats can be anything from weather conditions leading to poor horn quality, bedding or robbing moisture from the horn or a hazard GALLENBERGER, M.R. ( 1994) “Forget the yeast infection-it’s a hoof fungus!”Am. Farriers J. 20, 48– 50 This is not a definitive guide, but it will allow the horse owner to understand more about this incredible structure. EXTERNAL STRUCTURES Correctly marked and positioned x-rays can be used to assess the severity of changes/damage, reach a prognosis, and monitor response to therapy, and are essential to guide the realigning trimming that is necessary if there is dorsal and/or palmar rotation.

TopSpec Healthy Hoof contains the level of biotin scientifically proven to improve hoof quality (15mg/500kg horse/day), plus methionine, zinc, copper, iodine, calcium and vitamin A, which all improve the effect of biotin alone.When viewed from the lower surface, the hoof wall's free margin encircles most of the hoof. The triangular frog occupies the center area. Lateral to the frog are two grooves, deeper in their posterior portion, named 'collateral grooves'. At the heels, the palmar/plantar portions of the walls bend inward sharply, following the external surface of the collateral grooves to form the bars. The lower surface of the hoof, from the outer walls and the inner frog and bars, is covered by an exfoliating keratinised material, called the 'sole'. a highly noxious product used for treating wood which should never be used on hooves, not only because it eats into hoof horn, but also because it is poisonous
