Cowslips Original are for use in treatment of lame cattle. Made from highly durable PCV, these blocks take the weight off the affected claw, alleviating pain and allowing faster healing and increased cow mobility. Easy to use because the glue is mixed directly in the shoe and applied to hoof. The glue is not temperature sensitive. Designed to remain in place for 4 to 6 weeks before self-shedding. Kit contains: shoes, pre- measured dosages of fast cure adhesive powder and liquid. Suitable for Holsteins, Friesians, and Beef Breeds.

They were designed and
developed by a prominent veterinary surgeon and his team in the United Kingdom
in 1991 and are being used extensively in many countries world-wideCowslips
have been marketed in the U.S. by American Giltspur, Inc. since 1994, after
university field trials and market feedback analysis. Made in the United
Kingdom, Cowslips have received favorable reviews and commendations in several
countries for outstanding contributions to the dairy industry.
The shoes are made by injection
moulding from hard wearing recycled PVC. They are shaped to fit snugly over the
cow's healthy claw where they are fixed in position with a fast cure adhesive.
When the hoof is properly prepared and cleaned, the Cowslips will bond securely
and quickly every time. The sole of the Cowslips has a non-slip latticed tread
and is approximately 5/8" thick, sufficient to comfortably lift the
damaged claw off the ground. The absence of the pressure on the damaged claw
relieves pain and minimizes further trauma. Mobility is immediately improved
and increases in milk yield is noted. The Cowslips remain in place an average
of 4 to 6 weeks, but a few may remain longer. Usually the shoes are shed
spontaneously when the natural oils of the hoof break the specially developed
adhesive bond.
