Stop mud fever in its tracks this winter with a two-pronged attack using Keratex Hoofcare’s selection of mud fever products.
Using Keratex’s holistic approach to preventing and/or soothing mud fever will make life much easier this coming winter, and it’s important to take steps now, to prevent this nasty winter problem from occurring.
Keratex Hoof & Leg Scrub is ideal for use when horses come in from the field or from a hack. Simply hose the horse’s legs off and spray on. With a silent spray action this product should be left to dry for best results. Its anti-microbial action will kill off existing germs and prevent new germs from appearing. A unique one-way waterproof system means that it will not come off in rain or puddles.
Keratex Mud Fever Powder should be used on dry legs. Simply puff this on to horse’s legs for an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal covering. The talc-like formula will make the hair shafts on legs so silky that mud simply slides off, and the active ingredient – the naturally-occurring element Sulphur – makes this, another effective step in the fight against mud fever.
By following this night and day routine it is possible to prevent mud fever from appearing, by keeping bacteria levels on the legs as low as possible with a nightly routine, and by ensuring that mud and germs are held off from the legs by day.
The Keratex range of award-winning specially developed hoofcare products help caring horse owners build up the strength, quality and condition of their horse’s hooves.
