A clay based antimicrobial hoof putty.
Trials showed that although Hoof-Stuff was brilliant in deeper cracks and crevices in the hoof it was unable to stay in shallower cracks and on the surface of the hoof. Artimud however can be smoothed, rolled, squashed, spread and moulded to stay in the area it was put so its active antimicrobial and healing agents can sort out the problem.
We have found it useful in the treatment of all the same problems as Hoof Stuff (although not as effective in deeper, anaerobic cracks) but mainly in shallower white line separations, frog clefts, external cracks, thrush etc.
Use Artimud in shallower, more open holes/ cracks and Hoof-Stuff in deeper, tighter ones.
Artimud contains:
-
Green french clay - an antimicrobial clay which gives the putty the perfect consistency.
-
Bio-active honey - for its antimicrobial qualities and ability to make the putty sticky.
-
Zinc Oxide - a powerful, yet harmless antimicrobial powder.
-
Tea tree oil - an essential oil well known for its bacteria and fungus fighting abilities.
-
Eucalyptus oil - as well as being an effective antimicrobial, this essential oil assists in the toughening of weakened structures.
All the ingredients in Artimud are there to either have an antimicrobial effect or to improve the consistency and hence the longevity of its effect.
