Hoof Hygiene with Mustad's Hoof Hygiene Liquid
Depending on the different types of stabling systems, weather conditions, and the individual hoof situation, every hoof reacts differently to the negative influence of bacteria. A combination of poor hoof quality, wet weather, and, for example, open-stable systems can often lead to significant hygiene problems in the hooves. The causes of conditions such as thrush are diverse, but the impact of a muddy paddock should not be underestimated. Especially during the transitional months, stable owners often face the issue of the ground becoming increasingly waterlogged in certain areas. Depending on the soil composition, it can sometimes feel like all you can do is watch helplessly as the mud spreads. Particularly (but not exclusively) in such situations, hoof hygiene becomes a critical topic. But what can horse owners do to support hoof health?
One option is the Mustad Hoof Hygiene Liquid, developed to give horse owners the means to maintain healthy hooves.
What Makes Mustad Hoof Hygiene Liquid Special?
The Hoof Hygiene Liquid contains minerals in chelated form. Chelated minerals have enhanced stability because the components are bonded at multiple points simultaneously. This form also typically increases the bioavailability of minerals, meaning their absorption by the body—or in this case, the hoof—is improved. Additionally, chelates prevent unwanted reactions with other substances. Thanks to the chelated form, the minerals can contribute more effectively to addressing hygiene issues in the hoof.
Aloe vera and alcohol are additional components of Mustad Hoof Hygiene Liquid. Together with the minerals, these ingredients positively influence the hygiene condition of the hoof.
Application and Safety Instructions - Photos
Thanks to its natural ingredients, this is a relatively safe product. However, we recommend always wearing disposable gloves when handling hoof care products and ensuring the product itself is not contaminated by bacteria from the hoof.
Whether you are a hoof care professional or a horse owner: To avoid injuries to both humans and horses, it is essential to read and follow our general safety instructions when using our products.
Thoroughly clean the hoof before applying the Hoof Hygiene Liquid, ensuring that all areas to be treated are free from manure and dirt. Mustad Australia also suggests ensuring the hoof is as dry as possible before application to achieve the best results.
Apply the hygiene liquid directly to the specific areas of the hoof sole and frog that need treatment. Thanks to its gel-like consistency, it adheres excellently to the hoof, making it unnecessary to let the liquid dry after application.
Mustad recommends repeating the treatment approximately every five days. In addition to treating the hoof, it is important to consider the overall situation to minimize factors that negatively impact hoof hygiene as much as possible.
Using Hoof Hygiene Liquid for Laminitis
In addition to treating issues in the hoof sole and frog area (e.g., thrush), Mustad notes that the liquid can also be used for laminitis to minimize associated problems in the white line and provide supportive care.
Collaboration with Your Farrier or Veterinarian
Mustad's Hoof Hygiene Liquid gives horse owners the ability to take proactive steps to positively influence hoof hygiene. However, we would like to emphasize that at a certain point, consulting an expert may be advisable.
The Right Hoof Protection
If your horse is shod, it may be more challenging to reach the areas that need treatment with the Hoof Hygiene Liquid, depending on the type of horseshoes used. For cases of thrush, it may be beneficial to modify a composite horseshoe in the heel area. The extent of modification depends on the severity of the condition. Check out our section under FAQ→Adjustment to the Hoof or contact our team for more information.
If the horse is shod with glue-on shoes, ensure that the hoof hygiene liquid does not come into contact with the gluing area on the hoof. Once the glue-on shoe is applied and the glue has fully cured, there should be no issues. Nonetheless, we generally recommend keeping the gluing area free from hoof care products as a precaution.
