Bestselling Hoof Care Products
Our top-selling hoof care products for cow hoof care include:
- Sticky Dicky Claw Glue.
The Sticky Dicky Red Adhesive Claw Glue is a popular product for good reason, as it is a reliable glue that is designed to provide farmers with an effective no heat solution, setting in just ten to twenty seconds. This is a no heat glue and therefore does not require the use of blow torches or hot guns like most other glues on the market which makes application faster and more efficient. You can make the most of our bulk discounts when you buy in larger quantities, saving yourself money and ensuring you don’t run out at an inconvenient time.
- Derm Paste.
Our top quality Derm Paste is an excellent solution for the effective treatment of Digital Dermatitis, which can threaten the health of your herd. Digital Dermatitis can lead to lameness, which will have a significant impact on your milk yields and your profits, as well as causing discomfort to your animals, and Derm Paste is easy to apply with a bandage. It is available in 2kg or 10kg buckets and we offer flat rate shipping across Ireland.
- Intra Repiderma Spray.
Intra Repiderma Skin Protective Spray is a good choice to protect hoof health. This protective hoof and dermal spray gives visible results after just one day and is safe to use for you, your animals and your environment. Harsh chemicals can be dangerous for your herd and for the local wildlife and plant life, so finding alternatives that will not risk harming these is very important.
- Intra Hoof-Fit Footbath.
Finding products that make life easier for you is invaluable, and the Intra Hoof-Fit Footbath is certainly high on the list! This high-quality footbath features a stainless-steel centre piece to capture manure, reducing debris in your footbath for a more effective clean. It is easy to set up and fill and is a practical design for easy emptying and cleaning.
- Quick Green Glue.
Quick Green Glue is a hoof block adhesive that is popular with our customers because it is exceptionally fast setting and can be used at low temperatures. Quick Green Glue was especially developed to provide a quick setting time without the use of accelerators or heat, making it ideal for use in winter, and it offers a very effective way to attach rubber and wooden hoof blocks to the hooves of your cows. One tube will apply around 8 blocks, each requiring one mixing tip, and it can be applied using all standard 200ml and 210ml dispensing guns. You should always ensure that your glue is stored in a cool area.
And don’t forget the Inspect4 Rollover Crate, which is designed to simplify your life and protect you and your animals during essential care tasks. This quality design can make light work of all hoof care tasks, as well as teat sealing and insemination, and you may be surprised at how easy it is to handle and operate.
