Biopteq Hoof Dressing is known by farriers for its high-quality, natural formulation and is available in both an ointment and a liquid form.
100% Natural Formulation: The product is artisan-made from vegetable oils and fresh laurel leaves that are macerated to release their active substances. It contains no animal fats or petrochemical products, making it a natural solution for hoof care.
Key Ingredients: The liquid version lists active ingredients as interesterified soybean oil, canola oil, and eucalyptus globulus essential oil, along with inactive ingredients like beeswax and a green mineral dye.
Benefits:
Maintains Hoof Integrity: It helps preserve the suppleness, quality, shine, and elasticity of the entire hoof capsule, including the horn, sole, and frog.
Hydration Control: Regular use prevents the hoof wall from drying out and protects it from excessive dampness, acting as a humidity regulator to keep the hoof naturally balanced.
Promotes Growth: It penetrates the horn to nourish the hoof deeply and helps activate or accelerate horn growth.
Ease of Use: The ointment maintains a spreadable texture even in cold temperatures, ensuring consistent application in any climate.
Application: For best results, the manufacturer recommends applying the dressing to the hoof walls and soles three to four times a week under normal conditions. For intensive use on very dry hooves, a daily regimen for eight days is recommended, potentially involving washing and drying the feet before application.
