WHY CHOOSE BIOHOOF?
A unique hoof care programme to help eradicate lameness and poor hoof quality.
High yielding dairy cows, intensively fed beef cattle and replacement heifers are often under considerable metabolic, production and nutritional stress with diets often constructed to maximise performance and with no consideration for animal health.
Biohoof is a brand-new programme that tackles foot health from two angles – a Biobath foot bath specifically formulated to improve external foot health and prevent infection, together with a Biohoof nutritional premix package designed to work from within and boost the immune system, enhance skin integrity and provide an impenetrable tissue barrier to infectious agents. The Biohoof programme has also been shown to help improve milk production and fertility.

The Biobath foot bath is formulated with a source of acidified copper sulphate which works to improve external foot health and specifically target Digital Dermatitis. The solution remains effective even for the last cow through the foot bath and is less irritable than other treatments for raw lesions.
