Hippo Health Mud & Rain

Mud & Rain is an oral remedy that supports healing from the inside out, reducing the need to touch the legs, scrape of scabs or apply bandages and creams.

This ground-breaking natural supplement for horses can be used for greasy heel, mud fever or rain scald/rot.

Safe, non-toxic & 100% natural.

Equestrian Competition & Racing safe (not swab-able)

When To Dose

Mud & Rain is professionally formulated to support a normal immune response in horses to conditions caused by Dermatophilus congolensis bacteria. For horses prone to conditions such as greasy heel, mud fever and rain scald/rot, start preventative dosing at the onset of the rainy season. Dosing can also start as soon as symptoms appear. This product can be added to the water trough to dose multiple animals.

How To Dose

If symptoms have appeared, dose for 2-3 weeks or until healing is complete and the scabs have fallen off leaving clear healthy skin underneath. As a preventative, start dosing once a week as soon as the rainy season starts. Keep an eye on your horse’s legs and at the first sign of any trouble, increase dosing to twice daily for 7-10 days to return the skin to its normal healthy state. Reducing dose frequency when symptoms aren’t present will avoid desensitisation to this remedy.

90ml Pump Bottle

Give 2 pumps into the mouth or onto a treat or feed twice a day for 2-3 weeks. Keep dosing twice daily until symptoms are gone, then reduce to once a week for maintenance.

90 ml Pump Bottle = 230 doses (2 pumps per dose).

Bottles are food grade aluminium with a hygienic serum pump lid and over cap. Great for dosing on the go.

Jerry Can Dosing

Water Trough – add 25mls - one capful or 1 Jerry Can pump - of remedy into the water trough every second day. Dose volume is calculated for a 500-litre water trough

Feed – add 12mls - ½ capful or ½ a Jerry Can pump (12ml) - on to feed twice daily.

Dose until symptoms are gone, then reduce to once a week for maintenance.

1 litre = 80 days continuous cover via water troughs (dosing every second day) or 40 days dosing on feed (twice daily).

Our robust jerry cans are made from food grade plastic.

More Information

Advanced cases of Mud Fever can result in nasty wounds which need more support to heal. In these cases, we recommend using our Wound Healing Tonic – Equine alongside Mud & Rain to assist with mild discomfort.

Oral remedies work as soon as active ingredients contact a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gum or lips. Read our blog to find out more about oral dosing.

NPC Opti-HOOF

High strength biotin for horse hooves boosting hoof growth for harder, stronger hoof less prone to snapping, brittleness and damage.

Biotin is a proven key nutrient for better hoof and hair quality.

Horses naturally manufacture B group vitamins in the hindgut, biotin being one of these.

However, horses that do not receive enough fibre or for other reasons don’t digest well simply do not make enough naturally to maintain the optimum level to support hoof integrity.

Many horses with poor quality hooves benefit from being fed high strength biotin as a supplement into feed.

This super strength biotin for horse hooves is a concentrate powder requiring just 1 gram daily, providing the daily requirement of 15 mg.

This can also be used at 2 grams delivering 30 mg.

Opti-HOOF biotin for hooves is the best hoof supplement for horses that have a good diet but poor hoof quality.

It is a vitamin that the horse requires for healthy hooves and hoof growth, so yes it really does work!

Opti-hoof biotin is recommended by veterinarians and farriers as part of a healthy hoof care regime for encouraging better hoof quality.

Opti-hoof is also a proven nutrient to encourage hard hooves and more durable sole.

It promotes healthy new hoof growth from the coronet down and a hoof more resilient to wear, brittleness and chipping whilst helping to build a stronger, thicker sole.

Research shows some horses don’t digest well and as a result don’t produce enough biotin naturally (despite adequate fibre).

Research also shows that adding biotin back to the diet can drastically improve hoof health.

Research shows results begin to show in 6 weeks of feeding and should be continued for horses with a history of poor hoof quality.

Biotin is recommended where the diet is generally good (contains adequate protein, fibre and other vitamins and minerals).

By adding biotin, you are putting back what the horse is not making naturally.

Some breeds are also noted for poor hoof quality and may need ongoing supplementation to maintain hoof integrity.

Also see Opti-Min if your diet is lacking in other minerals due to low feed rations, poor grass quality or restricted pasture access.

Opti-HOOF is an effective low dose biotin hoof concentrate providing nutritional support to hooves.

Equifix TTO Wound Cream - 200gm Pot

Equifix Wound Cream TTO contains a high percentage of natural Tea Tree Oil with Zinc Oxide in an aqueous cream base. These active ingredients have been scientifically proven to be effective against fungal and bacterial infections.

Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), has been used in Australia for over 100 years, the primary use being for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Reviewed science has shown it that it also has anti-microbial and anti-fungal properties. In particular, it is very effective in combating the bug called Dermatophilus – that is the cause of what we call Mud Fever.

Zinc Oxide is also a proven and very effective tool used extensively for wound healing due to its antibacterial properties and that it has significant epithelialisation properties to advance healing. Epithelisation is the essential process of cells migrating upward to repair and close the area of the wound.

Scientific tests have shown that topical zinc oxide can increase the rate of wound healing, increase resistant to infection and decrease rates of deterioration.

Another important aspect to wound healing is to keep a wound moist. Premature drying will slow down healing as it blocks the white blood cells from working. The Aqueous base of Equifix-TTO is ideal to keep moisture on the wound and light enough not to block the healing process. (Using a thick cream with a petroleum or paraffin base will slow healing and confuse the process as the body will see it as something to remove).

Note: Tea Tree Oil in its pure form, as oil, is not suitable for use on animals because if ingested it may be toxic. However, as a percentage in an aqueous base is suitable and safe.

In summary: during wound healing, it is important to resolve inflammation and initiate re-epithelization, repel infection and retain a moist environment. Equifix-TTO provides the active ingredients to promote safe and efficient healing.
