Hoof-Care Highlights is brought to you by Kawell USA.
Kawell USA originally began as a project to develop a copper alloy horseshoe that could help in the treatment of hoof diseases in horses, by using copper's natural antibacterial and antifungal properties. After years of development and research, we now offer horseshoes, bar stock and frog inserts that are made from our EPA approved copper alloy that is proven to combat bacteria and fungus related to thrush, seedy toe, and white line disease.
