Based in Northern Ireland, Giltspur Scientific innovates cost-effective hoof-care solutions for bovine and equine industries. They are manufacturers of the Cowslip, which is exported to 17 countries worldwide. Made from highly durable PVC, Cowslips are orthopaedic shoes for the treatment of lameness in dairy cattle. Fitted to the healthy claw, Cowslips take the weight off the affected claw, thus alleviating pain and accelerating healing. The cow's mobility improves, weight is gained and milk yield increases.
HorseSlips are flexible glue-on horseshoes for the treatment of hoof conditions such as laminitis, corns, abscesses and cracks or breaks. This alternative horseshoe is manufactured from PVC by a patented method of spiral extrusion, making the price competitive and means they are easily adapted easily to fit all hoof sizes.
