This will give you approximately 2-gallons of the 5% Albon (RX) for only $75 rather than only 1-pint that a Vet will sell you for $75 -- you figure up the savings! Once you have this 5% Albon solution mix, each teaspoonful (5 mL) will contain 250 mg of Sulfadimethoxine.
A low carbon mild steel designated A-36 is used for the most popular type of horseshoe. The steel comes in the form of round bars ranging from 0.5-0.7 in (1.27-1.8 cm) in diameter, depending on the type of shoe to be made. These bars are then cut to various lengths, again depending on the shoe type.
Synthetic horseshoes, available since 1990, are made of nylon and various forms of plastic, such as acrylic polymers, polyurethane and polyethylene. They are glued, rather than nailed, to the hoof, which prevents the trapping of moisture between the shoe and the hoof.
