Life Data® Hoof Clay®
Application Instructions
For Hoof Wall Defects:
Use fingers or a tongue depressor to press Life Data® Hoof Clay® into areas of concern such as white line separations, crumbling hoof horn, hoof cracks, and old nail holes. As a general guideline, apply twice per week in wet conditions and less frequently in dry conditions.
For White Line Disease:
Barefoot horses:
Hoof should be dry and clean before application. Apply directly to white line area and into any hoof wall defects. Re-apply twice per week.
Shod horses:
Hoof should be dry and clean before application. Pull shoes and apply directly to white line area and into any hoof wall defects. Re-apply at each shoe reset. Life Data® Hoof Clay® can be used routinely under shoes as a White Line Disease preventative. Driving the nails through the clay protects the holes from becoming entry points of microbial invasions.
For Thrush:
Thoroughly pick, clean and dry the sulci of the frog. Pack the sulci and affected areas with Life Data® Hoof Clay®. Re-apply twice per week.
