Spezial Wooden Hoof Block for Hoof Trimming, 112–130 mm, Kerbl

The Kerbl Spezial Wooden Hoof Block is an advanced orthopedic aid designed to optimize the treatment of hoof disorders in cattle. The product addresses the problem of inefficient adhesive distribution beneath the block, which often leads to premature detachment or excessive use of bonding materials. Developed in cooperation with professional hoof trimmers, this design ensures maximum precision and long-lasting performance.

Application

The product is intended for the professional unloading of affected hooves by attaching it to the healthy claw. It is specifically designed for use with modern two-component adhesives and, thanks to its universal design, is also suitable for powder-liquid bonding systems. It is widely used in veterinary and livestock management practices on farms with high hoof-care standards.

Operating Principle

The key innovation of the Spezial model lies in its significantly wider grooves compared to standard solutions. These grooves create space where the adhesive forms a stable mechanical interlocking structure. During application, the block can be pressed firmly against the hoof, ensuring stability, while the deep grooves retain exactly the amount of adhesive required to create a strong and durable bond.

In Practice

• Material savings: The special groove geometry reduces the consumption of expensive two-component adhesives without compromising bond strength.
• High adhesion: Integrated grooves stabilize the adhesive structure, resulting in an exceptionally strong connection resistant to detachment during animal movement.
• System compatibility: An additional side groove allows efficient use with traditional powder-based systems (e.g., Technobase), making the block compatible with virtually all bonding agents available on the market.
• Safe installation: The simple design, developed with industry experts, minimizes application errors and reduces the time the animal needs to be restrained.
