Instructions / Feeding Guide

Areas of use:

• This tool is designed for trimming and maintaining the hooves of livestock, such as sheep, goats, and horses.

• They are a common tool for foot care and for preventing foot rot in animals.

Preparation:

Clean the hoof: Remove all dirt, mud, and manure from the hoof using the shears or a stiff brush.

Soften the hoof: If the hoof is very hard, you can soften it by spraying it with water or a disinfectant solution.

Disinfect tools: Disinfect the shears between trimming each hoof to prevent the spread of disease.

Have supplies ready: Keep blood stop powder or an antibiotic topical spray on hand in case you cut too deep.

Trimming technique:

Trim excess hoof: Start by removing any excess hoof wall around the edges. Make small cuts to avoid removing too much at once.

Level the sole: Aim to make the sole and heel flat and level with the sole of the foot. The goal is for the foot to land squarely on the ground.

Trim the toes: Trim the toes so they are even and not rolling over. Avoid cutting into the sensitive pink area of the hoof, which is the quick.

Balance the hoof: Trim more from the outside of the hoof than the inside to maintain proper balance and to ensure the foot lands squarely.

Aftercare:

Disinfect after trimming: Apply a topical antibiotic spray to the trimmed hoof to help prevent infection.

Evaluate regularly: Check the hooves regularly to identify any new overgrowth or signs of infection. Regular trimming can help prevent conditions like foot rot from developing.
