Fast-acting to remove foot rot bacteria, the Golden Hoof penetrates ovine hoof horn more readily than other anti-bacterial agents. Unlike formaldehyde preparations, which kill living tissues and cause hardening and subsequent cracking, zinc sulphate is a healing agent promoting the growth of new healthy tissue.
