Diss. B. Monhart, Zurich 2002). The hoof strengthener can penetrate cracks and crevices more easily due to its thin liquid form. This prevents further horn decomposition processes even in the case of covered horn damage, for example under the horseshoe.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis means that only the horn that is directly exposed to abrasion or harmful substances such as ammonia, bacteria and fungi is stabilized.

However, the horn's ability to absorb it is then limited, so it makes sense to use it more frequently, but with less hoof hardener. It makes less sense to use it on soaking wet or freshly greased hooves.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnother frequently asked question is the use of KERALIT hoof strengthener in the frog area.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBasically, the hoof hardener is absolutely harmless to the frog. The instructions for use only advise against constant use of the hoof hardener on the frog for the following reason:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe frog horn is an amorphous, i.e., in contrast to the wall horn, non-directional soft horn with a water content of around 40%. The frog should ideally have a rubbery, soft, elastic consistency. The hardness of the frog varies greatly due to changing environmental conditions (rain and dryness). This is completely normal. In extreme dryness in summer, the hoof horn, especially the soft horn of the frog, becomes much harder. The frog can then only carry out its dampening and hoof-widening function to a lesser extent. The soft horn also reacts to the hoof hardener on the surface by stabilizing, which is inappropriate for a frog substance that has already hardened through drying. There is therefore nothing to prevent the hoof hardener from being used in the frog area if it is actually too soft.
