Hoof care

Novadan’s recommended product for hoof care is Nova Hoof Hygiene, suitable for all hoofed animals.

Nova Hoof Hygiene helps maintain the cow’s natural hoof strength by lowering the pH level to support a healthy balance. This promotes stronger, healthier hooves and enhances overall animal welfare.

Effective hoof care provides numerous benefits: it helps prevent lameness, reduces the risk of infections, improves mobility, and supports higher milk production as well as overall herd health. Consistent hoof care keeps animals comfortable and productive, ultimately strengthening the farmer’s bottom line.

Direct spraying on the hooves.

Nova Hoof Hygiene is sprayed undiluted directly on the back of the hooves 2-3 times a week.
The hooves do not need to be washed before.
Apply with back sprayer or automatic nozzle sprayer.
Treatment can be performed from the milking parlor, or where the cows are caught in railings. Then the hooves are gently sprayed with Nova Hoof Hygiene from behind.

Hoof bath

Nova Hoof Hygiene is used in hoof baths with a resolution of 5-10% depending on the size of the hoof problems in the cows.
Treatment twice a week.
There must be at least a water depth of 5 cm in order for the hoof to be covered with liquid when passing the hoof bath.
When all cows have gone through the hoof bath, the bath is emptied and cleaned.
