Description
Life Data® Hoof Clay is a pliable antimicrobial clay which easily packs and remains in place within hoof defects, old nail holes and cracks. Life Data® Hoof Clay provides continuous long term protection against a wide spectrum of bacterial and fungal invasions which cause poor hoof quality, wall separations, crumbling horn, white line disease, and thrush.
Life Data® Hoof Clay is non-irritating and is safe to apply without wearing gloves.
Problems it Addresses
White Line Disease is due to a combination of bacterial and fungal organisms invading the middle hoof wall. Hoof cracks, old nail holes, white line separations and other hoof wall defects allow these “hoof eating” microbes to gain access to the nutrient rich middle hoof wall. The low oxygen environment creates an ideal site for these organisms to multiply and weaken the hoof wall structure, leading to additional defects and collapsing hoof horn.
Thrush is a microbial invasion of the sole and frog tissue often leading to tender feet, heel pain and lameness.
