I know what products have consistently done a good job for me: Wonder Dust, Neosporin, Alushield, Corona Ointment – I handle a number of horses and I’ve found that horses treated with those products heal noticeably quicker. Nevertheless, if there’s a more effective product out there, I’d like to know about it.
My only question is, why are they only interested in analyzing which plant-derived ingredients? I realize that plants can be quite powerful, and that the UK has a preference for “natural” or botanical remedies, but animal-derived products, like Lanolin , and petroleum products are commonly found in wound ointments. Shouldn’t the effectiveness of these things on horses be evaluated as well?
