Kruuse UK has announced the launch of its new Mud Fever Kits for horsesKruuse UK has announced the launch of its new Mud Fever Kits for horses.

Kruuse says the launch follows independent studies last year by Aimi Duff BVM&S, MRCVS (Scott, Mitchell & Associates, Hexham) on the use of Manuka ND dressings for the treatment of Mud Fever.

The kit contains one complete treatment for two legs (or two complete treatments for one leg) including all dressings. There is also a step-by-step guide from the "Ask the Vet" series which explains best treatment protocol, designed to help veterinary surgeons dispense the kit directly to clients with confidence.

According to the company, the benefits of using medical grade Manuka Honey in the treatment of Mud Fever include:

  • Honey assists in wound debridement
  • Honey is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial
  • Honey is well suited to contaminated and infected wounds

Andrew Groom, Managing Director of Kruuse UK Ltd said: "We are delighted with the initial response to our unique Mud Fever Kits; such additions to our range continue to enhance the Kruuse commitment to equine wound care."
