Application
Intra Hoof-fit Gel is primarily suitable for the individual treatment of cows (and sheep) with hoof problems. When treating with Intra Hoof-fit Gel, apply according to the following method:

1. Trim the hooves 2 to 3 times per year. Preferably, you should engage the services of a professional farrier to trim all of the animals.
2. Clean the hoof thoroughly. Make sure that all manure has been removed from the hoof, including from the interdigital cleft, then dry the hoof.
3. Smear the afflicted hoof and the interdigital cleft with Intra Hoof-fit Gel using the brush supplied.
4. Thanks to its unique adhesive properties, Intra Hoof-fit Gel remains effective for up to 4 to 5 days. If necessary, repeat treatment after this period.
5. In the case of very severe problems, we recommend that you tape the hoof. After a maximum of 4 days, remove the tape and repeat treatment with Intra Hoof-fit Gel (this time without taping the hoof afterwards).


Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is the benefit of chelated minerals?
Answer: The stability and solubility of chelated minerals is many times higher than that of sulphate minerals. The enables the animals to draw the most benefit from the effect of the minerals.

Question: What is scald?
Answer: Scald (also referred to as interdigital dermatitis) is a chronic inflammation caused by a variety of bacteria. This is an infection that causes a peculiar smell. The affliction causes V-shaped splits in the heel area. Scald occurs most frequently in older animals. The disease generally occurs in several animals at the same time during the period in which they are stalled.

Question: What is the benefit of Intra Hoof-fit in comparison to antibiotics?
Answer: The benefit of Intra Hoof-fit is that the bacteria that cause the hoof problems cannot develop a resistance to Intra Hoof-fit. As a result of this, Intra Hoof-fit can be used limitlessly without the results being affected in any way whatsoever. Furthermore, there is no waiting period for Intra Hoof-fit.

Question: Intra Hoof-fit contains chelated copper and zinc, amongst other things. Is that not bad for the environment?
Answer: If large quantities of copper and zinc are released into the environment, then that is not good. Large quantities of copper have been used particularly in foot-baths, to this very day. Through the application of Intra Hoof-fit, a better result can be achieved with a much lower dosage. This is possible because chelated minerals are many times more stable and therefore have a more potent effect.

Question: Why does Intra Hoof-fit contain Aloe Vera?
Answer: Aloe Vera is a plant extract that nurses and cares for the skin. As a result of this, Intra Hoof-fit has various properties: it treats the infection of the hoof and then nurses the wound caused by the infection. This also prevents the hoof from remaining susceptible to infections.

Question: Does Intra Hoof-fit actually work (and are you sure it is not all just talk)?
Answer: Intra Hoof-fit is used by 75% of farriers in the Netherlands as the product for treating hoof afflictions. Intra Hoof-fit is now used across a wide spectrum of countries and in many places is the market leader in the field of hoof care. We owe this result to our thousands of satisfied users around the entire world.

Question: Is it not really time-consuming, having to treat all of the hooves with the Intra Hoof-fit gel?
Answer: Firstly, the hooves of the animals must be trimmed 2-3 times per year (prior to dry period). The gel can be applied directly to the hoof during trimming. In order to treat hoof problems in a herd, it is essential that the infection is first brought under control in all of the animals. This requires intensive treatment of all infected animals to begin with. Once the infection is under control (within a few weeks) a regular foot-bath will suffice to prevent the problems from reoccurring.

Question: What does Intra Hoof-fit actually do for me?
Answer: Intra Hoof-fit easily pays for itself. You will profit from a healthy herd with no hoof problems, because animals without hoof afflictions are much more productive. Moreover, with healthy hooves, you will save a considerable amount on medication costs.
