Got Warts? QuickHit Gel Treats Hoof Warts Fast
Dairy cattle owners have a new option for treating hoof warts and other hoof problems. Available for two years, QuickHit Gel has become very popular among dairymen and hoof trimmers, says Dick Adair, president of SSI Corporation.
  QuickHit Gel is a concentrated Hoof Trimmer’s formula made with copper and zinc. Its highly effective formula quickly decreases pain and inflammation with no initial sting or need to wrap.
  “It soaks right in,” Adair explains. The gel can be applied straight from the bottle for severe cases, but is usually mixed 50/50 with water and squirted, brushed or dabbed on the wart daily or weekly depending on the severity of the wart. QuickHit Gel contains no antibiotics and improvement is normally seen in 1 to 4 applications. 
  “Wart treatments should be used in conjunction with a quality foot bath to control outbreaks and instructions should carefully be followed,” Adair emphasizes. The gel will treat the wart, but once an animal has warts they can come back, so monitoring is important, he adds.
  Because of the copper content in QuickHit Gel, it cannot be used on sheep. SSI carries another product for sheep as well as offering a new QuickHit product for horse-related hoof issues.
  The company sells to hoof trimmers and distributors. Retail cost averages about $40 a quart. Information about local dealers can be found through SSI’s website.
