Keralit

Using KERALIT Hoof Strengthener makes the horn stronger and significantly more hardwearing. The horn is stabilised in the area of the white line, the bearing edge and the sole, making it indigestible to harmful bacteria and fungi. Horn-destroying harmful substances, such as ammonia or hydrogen sulphide from the stable bedding, are neutralised. Horn abrasion in barefoot horses is greatly reduced. The hooves become distinctly more resilient and stable. The shoes of shod horses sit more firmly, the nail holes no longer rip out. For tough and resistant horn, no matter whether barefoot or shod.

Gently dissolves scabs and crusts. With mallenders, eczema and older skin injuries, scabs often cover the affected areas of the skin, adhering stubbornly and sticking to the hairs. This means they hinder a meaningful treatment of the underlying pathogens. The extremely thin oils of the KERALIT Keralysin Ointment infiltrate and soften these scab layers and loosen them. These can then be gently removed without mechanical irritation or injury to the skin, often after only 1 overnight application. Additionally prescribed disinfectants or medications can only then achieve their optimal effect. KERALIT Keralysin Ointment has proved to be very useful, especially with Friesians or other horses with long fetlock feathers, as there was no need to remove the feathers before treating.

The frog care solution is ideal for the care and prevention of frog deterioration. The horn becomes indigestible for decay-inducing bacteria and fungi, only then can new, healthy horn grow back. KERALIT Frog Liquid is a liquid, well-adhering solution, especially for the problem areas of the frog. It is used for the care and regeneration of damaged and deteriorated soft horn. The frog care solution is especially helpful for already softened, foul-smelling central and collateral grooves. Harmful effects from stable bedding such as ammonia and hydrogen sulphide are neutralised directly!After 3-4 days of use, the frog"s grooves visibly dry out. The frog can thus grow back healthy.

KERALIT Undercover is a nourishing paste to prevent horn disintegration processes at the white line, frog, sole, bars as well as hollow walls. The paste is ideal for horses that are kept in open stables and often stand on wet ground! KERALIT Undercover creates a constant, thrush-inhibiting environment where it is applied. It is particularly suitable when orthopaedic shoes with hoof inserts and silicone pads are in use. Protects throughout the entire period the shoes are in place. KERALIT Undercover can be used by farriers, barefoot trimmers and horse owners.

With mallenders and eczema, the affected skin areas are often brittle and irritated. KERALIT Dermacure ointment contains high quality, nourishing substances such as dexpanthenol, St. John"s wort oil and zinc oxide. These support the regeneration of the irritated skin areas. Nourishing substances keep the skin supple and elastic, thus preventing it from cracking again. KERALIT Dermacure Ointment is a useful supplement to KERALIT Keralysin Ointment for aftercare.

KERALIT Hoof-Elast Care Oil is a liquid active ingredient concentrate with plant-based active ingredients such as laurel, sesame, avocado and jojoba oil in a water-soluble and moisture-binding formulation.The care substances contained can be ideally absorbed into the horn, the natural moisture is bound in the horn. The hoof can optimise its moisture content without hindrance, so that the elasticity and resilience of the horn are improved - the horn surface is not closed. The crown edge area becomes more supple and elastic.

KERALIT Laurel Ointment is a nourishing and active ingredient combination of natural components in a high quality, water-soluble base. The ointment contains 20% pure laurel oil. Due to its water-soluble properties, the nourishing substances in solution can be absorbed into the horn and the coronet band in ideal fashion. Hoof growth and hoof mechanism are thereby improved. Due to its water-solubility, the hoof can absorb and release moisture unhindered, even after repeated application, leaving the hoof"s water balance undisturbed. Conventional greases do not allow this and block the pores for several days. KERALIT Laurel Ointment improves the water balance of the horn, thus increasing the blood circulation in the hoof when the horse is in motion. The improved elasticity of the hoof increases the metabolic rate at the coronet band and thus hoof growth.
