24-Year-Old Dutch Jumping Horse - Humping
Testimony by: Giuseppe Biffi, Farrier.
Animal category: equine
Pathology category: Subbing (Subsolear ecchymosis).
Description: Can be caused by crushing of the sole chorion and subsequent hemorrhage between it and the third phalanx with pain sensation, but also by penetration of a foreign body into the sole with subsequent hematoma formation. The present photo refers specifically to a case of nailing. Treated with Hypermix®gauze and medicated once daily, washing the part with mild soap and water, it resolved in three days with covering shoeing.
Mode of application: daily application.
Resolution time: 3 days.
HOW TO USE IT
Some animals have more than one laceration, especially in bite wounds.
Traumatic bite wounds can easily be infested with fly larvae (miosis).
All types of lesions, including infested ones, can be treated daily with HYPERMIX®
CLEAN with saline or mild soap and water (Marseille) and remove the necrosis.
The use of disinfectant is not recommended, as it is histolesive and retards the healing process.
To avoid self-inflicted trauma, animals that show doggedness on injuries are advised to be fitted with a protective collar.
At the discretion of the treating veterinarian, and depending on the severity and extent of wounds, administer systemic antibiotic therapy, according to practice.
APPLY HYPERMIX® in oily formulation during the acute phase: resolution of the inflammatory phase is achieved in 5±2 days.
Subsequently, in the granulation phase, HYPERMIX® in gel formulation is recommended to be used over the entire injured surface until complete resolution.
HYPERMIX® is undesirable to the dipterans that colonize wounds, allowing them to be managed even during critical periods (summer season, poor sanitary conditions).

Horse - Summer Dermatitis
Testimony by: Rosario Guida, professor of Mascalcia 4th level
Animal Category: Equine (horse)
Pathology category: Summer dermatitis
Description: Summer dermatitis of the horse can be easily triggered by insect bites and stings and by contact with the saliva of midges. It affects horses of all breeds.
As a result of such bites or stings, allergic horses may develop a Type 1 hypersensitivity reaction, with release of histamine; the immediate consequence is itching, which the animal fights by rubbing itself, thus causing subsequent self-trauma that often degenerates into secondary skin infections. For this reason, in summer horses frequently appear restless, irritable and manifest weight loss from inappetence.
Product used: HYPERMIX® oily format
Mode of application:
Healing time: 30 days
- The first seven days were sponging with HYPERMIX®, without washing or brushing the coat.
- Instead, in the following days the horse was washed and dried well in the affected part and HYPERMIX® was applied.
- After each application you exposed the horse to the sun (not during peak hours).
- A total of 150 ml of HYPERMIX® was used.
Time frame for problem resolution:

Horse - Onychomycosis on thoroughbreds
Testimony by: Rosario Guida, teacher of Mascalcia 4th Level.
Animal Category: Equine (thoroughbred horse)
Disease category: Hoofworm (onychomycosis)
Description: Hoofworm indicates a hoof disease that causes the wall to become disconnected from the underlying tissues.
Product used: HYPERMIX® oily formulation
Mode of application:
- Remove the moth-eaten part with appropriate tools.
- Drill with appropriate conical tip until almost bleeding, all over the wall (wall).
- Clean the sole especially on the white line from woodworm.
- Insert with HYPERMIX® syringe deep through the drilled holes.
- Soak a gauze of HYPERMIX®, insert it under the sole and bandage with Vetrap.
- Use HYPERMIX® at least once a day.
Time to resolution of the problem: 3 weeks
HOW TO USE IT
HYPERMIX®, because of its many qualities, fits right into equine podal management, especially as it relates to the microbial management of the substrate on which equines stand in the stall for a long time, whether it be chip or rice husk. Droppings, no matter how well collected and no matter how well the stall may be cleaned each day, will mature and attack the horny matrix of the hooves making it necessary to have long-lasting prevention that does not harm the horse.
In this area, therefore, HYPERMIX® becomes a useful ally: its ease of use and available form make it quick and convenient to use, especially in wet seasons.
MODE OF USE
APPLYING, by brush, a light layer along the wall, from the crown to the toe, passing through the sole, secton, and glomi, will help create a protected environment by reducing the chances of woodworm disease occurring as the biocidal action will be emphasized.
In case this has already happened, applying the product especially on the fork and crown will promote its absorption and, due to the very high podal capillarization, it will first be absorbed and then transferred to the involved neighboring districts.
The oily formulation will also ensure, as on exudates and wounds, oxygenation of the hooves while also maintaining their ability to acquire moisture in order to keep the matrix elastic and hydrated.
- Remove the moth-eaten part with appropriate tools.
- Drill with appropriate conical drill on the entire wall (wall).
- Clean the sole especially on the white line from woodworm.
- Insert with HYPERMIX® syringe deep through the drilled holes.
- Soak a gauze of HYPERMIX®, insert it under the sole and bandage with Vetrap.
- Use HYPERMIX® at least once a day.
COMPLETE HEALING AFTER 3 WEEKS ON ADVANCED WOODWORM.
