It comes in three sizes - small, large and XL - so the splint can be matched to the frame of the animal, from Jersey cows through to larger beef breeds.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBecause the splint can be moulded with a heat gun or hair dryer, it can be shaped to the individually required form rather than relying on a single fixed profile. It is normally left in place for 4 to 7 days and can then be cleaned and reused many times.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree size options:\u003c\/strong\u003e small for Jersey or smaller Friesian cows, large for bigger Friesian or Holstein cows, XL for larger beef breeds\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouldable fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e shape the splint with a heat gun or hair dryer for a closer fit to the individual animal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReusable:\u003c\/strong\u003e the BOS splint can be reused many times, making it a long-term addition to the farm kit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTypical wear time:\u003c\/strong\u003e left in place for 4 to 7 days depending on the severity of the condition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e dairy herds, suckler and beef units, and veterinary practices needing a repeatable leg support\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCow leg splint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSizes available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall, Large, XL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSmall\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJersey or smaller Friesian cows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLarge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarger Friesian or Holstein cows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eXL\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLarger breeds of beef cows\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShaping method\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeat gun or hair dryer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTime in place\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 to 7 days, depending on severity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReusable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes, many times\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eChoose the size that matches the animal - small for Jersey or smaller Friesian, large for larger Friesian or Holstein, XL for larger beef breeds.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRestrain the cow safely in a crush or handling race before fitting.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIf a closer fit is needed, warm the splint with a heat gun or hair dryer and mould it to the individually required shape, then allow it to cool.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePosition and secure the splint on the leg following your veterinary surgeon's guidance.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeave in place for 4 to 7 days, depending on the severity of the condition, checking the animal regularly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove, clean and dry the splint, then store it flat for reuse.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more livestock and yard equipment in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/agrihealth\"\u003eAgrihealth collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size BOS cow splint do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe small splint suits Jersey or smaller Friesian cows, the large splint suits larger Friesian or Holstein cows, and the XL splint suits larger breeds of beef cows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should the splint be left on?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe splint should be left in place for 4 to 7 days, depending on the severity of the condition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the splint be reshaped to fit the animal?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
