At AgroChem, we believe in solutions that are proven to work. That’s why HealMax® was studied at the University of Minnesota, comparing its effectiveness in preventing and managing digital dermatitis with copper sulfate, the industry-standard treatment.
✔ HealMax® performed as well as copper sulfate in maintaining hoof health and managing digital dermatitis.
✔HealMax® is biodegradable, while copper sulfate can accumulate in soil and water.
✔ No formaldehyde or harsh chemicals—HealMax® provides a safer alternative for cattle, handlers, and the environment.
✔ Less labor, more efficiency—HealMax® helps prevent lameness and maintain hoof health—without requiring extra handling or extra chute time.
✔ Lameness isn’t just discomfort—it’s lost dollars. A lame animal eats less, moves less, and ultimately brings in less profit. Preventing hoof infections keeps cattle on track for optimal performance.
✔ Hoof problems spread fast. Conditions like digital dermatitis, hairy heel warts, and foot rot thrive in damp, high-traffic areas. Once introduced, they can quickly impact multiple animals in a herd. Proactive hoof care helps stop the problem before it spreads.
✔ Traditional treatments can be time-consuming and harsh. Formaldehyde and copper sulfate have long been used to manage hoof health, but they come with downsides—environmental risks, labor-intensive handling, and safety concerns for both cattle and handlers.
That’s where HealMax® comes in. Developed for modern beef production, HealMax® helps prevent hoof problems before they start—without antibiotics, harsh chemicals, or extra chute time.
