85% of lesions improved and healed in a randomised controlled trial with one application!
BASED IN IRELAND, Provita Animal Health developed Hoofsure Konquest Hoof Gel in conjunction with Queens University Belfast and Dr Roger Blowey, Specialist in Cattle (dairy). Konquest Hoof Gel is a proprietary concentrated blend of organic acids and essential oils. It is formulated to possess bio-adhesive and potent penetrating action so it sticks to the skin and hoof, breaks down biofilms and effectively gets to the source of infection.
A recent study by Dr Nick Bell and Dr James Wilson compared Konquest to a conventional topical anti-microbial treatment for digital dermatitis / hairy heel warts. 245 cows from six farms were enrolled and randomised into two groups. The control group received the topical anti-microbial spray after thorough cleaning and drying, and the other received Konquest under a “bikini wrap” which was removed after 24hrs. Both groups noted a reduction in lesion size and an improvement or cure with regards to lesion appearance (using the M-score system), with just one application!
“With the need to reduce the use of antimicrobials in the dairy industry, Konquest should be considered a suitable alternative to conventional antibiotic treatments.”
