HOW TO USE HOOFOSS SPRAYING HOOFOSS The spraying method is the most effective and simple form of application, which ensures full contact to the hoof region. Spraying is easily combined with the daily work routines. HooFoss does not cause pain or distress in the animals. In the effort to reduce working time, we recommend spraying the rear legs only, since this is the location of the majority of hoof problems. Apply a concentrated solution twice per week. Increase the application rate in case of severe problems. Important Spray directly with powerful jet of HooFoss on the problem area and in the hoof cleft from a distance of approx. 2 cm. Rinse well through and make sure that HooFoss gets deep into the folds and fissures. Use Use a knapsack sprayer made of durable plastic or stainless steel. For safety reasons, it is recommended to use a sprayer with a long telescopic lance in head lock systems, or similar. HOOF BATH Use twice a week in a suitable hoof bath with low non-slip profiles at the bottom. We recommend using the HooFoss bath (200x85x15 cm). Place the hoof bath on a fully levelled surface. 40 litres of HooFoss is poured into the hoof bath. Top up with pure water to reach a liquid depth of approx. 5 cm. For larger herds, top up with extra HooFoss after every 150-200 cows to a liquid depth of approx 5 cm. If the liquid becomes very dirty, start up with a new soluton. The treatment with HooFoss should always be started with at least one month of spraying to ensure a controlled and optimal effect. IN GENERAL Allow HooFoss to dry for a couple of minutes before letting the cows into deeper layers of manure/slurry/water puddles. This can best be achieved by keeping the exit aisle from the milking area clean. After a couple of weeks of treatment, problem areas will appear black, which must not be removed. This is an indication of good effect. and treatment should be continued. VK211001 info@vilofoss.com www.vilofoss.com
