Studies Uses Chlorine Dioxide

[Guest guest]

A Novel Therapeutic Approach for the Treatment of White Line Disease Using a

Two-Part Chlorine Dioxide Gel

Dr. Walter L. Kreeger

At the 2005 American Farriers Association annual convention, the research

committee concluded its first research competition. The aim of the competition

was to increase the knowledge base about the equine hoof, and demonstrate that

farriers are part of the group of veterinarians and animal scientists that

research the hoof. Nine research abstracts were submitted, and the topics ranged

from therapy for laminitis to equine behavior. The quality of the abstracts was

high, and there is no doubt that farriers can contribute objective, systematic

information to the knowledge base of the equine hoof. The winner of this year's

competition was Dr. Walter Kreeger, a farrier, educator and researcher from

Arkansas. His abstract contained the elements of good research: an important and

interesting problem, with quantitative data obtained in an objective way. Walter

agreed to have his research published in Professional Farrier, and his work is

presented below.
