New COWSLIPS ® PLUS Now Available!
As a result of on-going veterinary research to assess the overall effectiveness of COWSLIPS as well as feedback from veterinary practitioners, professional hoof-trimmers and dairy producers, the company's veterinary research team has designed a longer COWSLIP to compliment the original COWSLIPS. Called COWSLIPS PLUS they have all the same unique features and advantages of the current COWSLIPS with several enhancements:
-
1/2 inch longer sole to better enable the fitting of all sizes of hooves
-
Slightly forward tapered sole with approximately 1/8 inch increased depth at the heel. Recent studies at the University of Zurich in Switzerland have shown that a tapered sole wears more evenly and reduces stress at the heel, taking the weight off the flexor tendons
-
A slight 1mm wider
-
Rounded rear inside edge of sole for increased cow comfort
In all respects, COWSLIPS and COWSLIPS PLUS remain the most effective and convenient method for treatment of claw disorders requiring weight relief and rest for the affected digit.
