Below are some pictures from the show:
Blue Clay Shoes has undergone extensive trialling and continuous observation.
We have received great results and positive feedback.
However we have found Blue Clay Shoes performs best when applied directly to the hoof, without the use of any product before, for example Terramycine or Purple Spray. The spray covers the hoof which prevents Blue Clay Shoes from penetrating.
Blue Clay Shoes is so easy to use- immediately after trimming, brush Blue Clay Shoes into and over the hoof and allow the animal to stand on a dry surface for approximately 10 minutes, to allow the drying process to start
The essential oils of Blue Clay Shoes penetrates into the hoof and the long contact period, allows the clay to seal and protect whilst essential oils challenge any bacteria already present.

Hi, My Name is Mortellaro – I’m Italian and I discovered Treponemes caused Digital Dermatitis 50 years ago. I thought I’d do some lab work and collect a few…
Wrong!
Although they’re everywhere, I can’t find very many, and those I do find die before I get them back to the lab.
After 50 years – I give up
Hi, My name is Erik- from Norway and I have found a way to collect Treponemes:
A really complicated system of chemical devices is needed and I can take them back to the lab.
Trouble is I can’t keep them alive
Hi, I’m Jimmy the trimmer – from Scotland I’ve got thousands of Treponemes on my trimming knife. I get them from every cow and they stay alive OK.
Anybody want some dropped off at their lab?
Just had our most recent lab report back for tests on Ecohoof Germicide
Amongst others, it now has EN 14204 accredation. Which means in its normal concentrate it kills 99.999% of Micobacterium Avium.
Micobacterium Avium is a bacteria that can be a cause of chronic TB in hens and also in cattle and is commonly found in all kinds of livestock housing.
Ecohoof Germicide is an excellent but safe disinfectant in it’s own right and perfect for washing down parlours, gullies, even utensils etc.
Most importantly Ecohoof Germicide is a Footbath product – remember 1 small 3.5 kilo tub makes 1000 litres of ready to use product.
Make the product up in an IBC and draw from it as required.
On Friday Raymond and Tom made their way to Lemington Spa, in their Blue Suede Shoes, to promote our new product at Livestock New Product Briefing .

Would this new product interest anyone in the trade?
We had this communication from one of our customers in Finland:
‘Hi Ecohoof folks,
Just a few lines to let you know about the good job Ecohoof Germicide is doing- it really keeps the cows feet in good condition.
I’m keeping the cows outside now, even in days as cold as minus 12°C – they seem to prefer the cold!
I have fitted them with Birch Bark Shoes to help commuting over the frozen ground to the milking parlour. They like the flat ground at the top of the hill, where there is still some Lichens to graze, and at milking time they gather at the top and the whole herd skis, down the hill, straight into the shed on the Birch Bark Shoes – it’s a great sight.
We pull them back up to the top of the hill with the 4x4s.
Speak with you soon,
Your friend,
Loof Lirpa’
Here at Ecohoof we are about to add yet another product to our stock range.
As you may have noticed our product names include some professional names, straight to the point names, and some a little but quirky.
This month we are ready to launch our Horse Fly Repellent Spray.
Today there has been an on going debate in our marketing department over the name.
Here is some of the suggestions so far:
Flies no more
Phuck off Flies
Scud Repellent
Neigh Mare Flies
Apache Fly Spray
What do you think?
Any other suggestions would be appreciated along with thoughts on above suggestions.
If we use your suggestion – you will be rewarded with a box of 12 (whatever they are called) sprays.. and the marketing team will be getting the boot!
With the obvious signs of spring around, the dairy farmers minds will be turning towards being able to turn out the cows.
Whilst inside, foot problems are more prevalent and footbathing regularly is the norm.
At Ecohoof, we feel that regular footbathing should continue throughout the year, as part of the routine hygiene programme. This will go a long way to reduce foot problems during the winter period.
Also, the walk ways to and from the parlour may need attention to prevent foot injuries and facilitate easy movement to and from milking.
With sheep – during any period of gathering/handling, it is always a good idea to footbath the flock to kill any bacteria on the feet.
Use Ecohoof Germicide with no disposal problems
and please remember
PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
