A practical and natural solution for hoof care

Hoofed animals are often sensitive to humidity and can develop illnesses if their hooves are not correctly maintained.

In particular, the sole and frog of horses are particularly prone to rotting, especially in autumn and winter. Cattle hooves must also be protected from moisture.

Pine tar is a natural and very ancient product coming from the carbonization of pine wood. Its healing, astringent and antiseptic properties make it an excellent protector for animal hooves. Regular application forms a real protective barrier which prevents the penetration of fungi and bacteria, sanitizes and dries the hooves to prevent rotting. It can also be used after hoof trimming for cattle, which will thus benefit from optimal and long-lasting care.

Simple and quick, the application of Norwegian tar is done on a dry and clean hoof, and can be repeated as many times as necessary.

This is, at least, the conclusion of a recent study conducted by Swedish researchers[1]. Playing with odors is therefore an avenue worth exploring to enrich the pigs' immediate environment and thus reduce...

How to prevent tail biting in pig farms?

Many pig farmers are familiar with this problem, which is all the more widespread since systematic tail docking is now banned in the European Union.

Chewing is a normal behavior in pigs, resulting from a natural need to explore and manipulate their environment. It can also be associated with social interactions and the establishment of a hierarchy within a group of individuals. However, this type of behavior can escalate and result in cannibalism. A bite that is too forceful can injure and draw blood, which excites ...

Economic consequences of tail biting in pig farms.

Present in many pig farms, biting and cannibalism often have serious consequences for the animals.

Although tail docking in pigs has greatly reduced this type of aggressive behavior, the ban on systematic tail docking in piglets requires an adaptation of practices and the living conditions of the animals, for reasons of animal welfare but also for economic reasons. Indeed, tail biting problems lead to increased costs for the breeder; the additional workload for care,...
