HooFoss Protects the skin in the hoof region SLURRY INCREASES THE RISK OF HOOF INFECTIONS In high-yield milk productions, cows and heifers are exposed to high levels of skin-damaging waste products found in slurry. The waste products include ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and moisture. Healthy and intact skin in the hoof region is very resistant to bacterial infec- tions, but prolonged contact to waste products from the hoof environment weakens the skin and significantly increases the risk of hoof infection. ELIMINATION OF BACTERIA IS NOT THE RIGHT APPROACH Disinfectants or antibiotics are not suitable for hoof treatment in a polluted hoof environment with excessive levels of bacteria. After such treatments, bacteria will be reduced, but as soon as the cows and heifers reenter the barn, the hoof region will once again be exposed to an overload of bacteria and waste products. HOOFOSS COUNTERACTS THE DAMAGING IMPACT FROM THE HOOF ENVIRONMENT HooFoss is a new active skin protection agent specialised for use in the hoof region. HooFoss adds a fully covering layer of active minerals to the problem area. Once formed, the mineral layer will bind hard for several days to intact and damaged skin. When cows and heifers return to the barn, the active mineral layer will support and protect the skin. This relief will allow the skin to heal, without being exposed to the harmful hoof environment. When used continuously, HooFoss will provide ongoing protection and significantly reduce hoof problems. D 2 ia H ly o t o E F x o p s r s ess

HooFoss - a highly specialised skin protection agent working in four steps 1. Cleans the skin from skin-damaging components, such as manure and ammonia 2. Powerful drying and increased oxygenation of the problem area 3. Covers the problem area with a protective crust that supports skin healing 4. Forms a resistant mineral layer on the skin that protects the skin for several days Dia H ly o t o E F x o p s r s e s 3 s
