With the onset of the colder weather, never has there been a better time to stock up on your Leucillin. Along with the rain and frost forecasts, the heavyweight rugs ready for action and the deep mud around the field entrance, it is now especially important to make sure your horse is healthy and happy during these winter months.
There are several common winter ailments that you may need to keep an eye out for, which, if left untreated, may require costly veterinary attention:
Mud fever
Mud fever is a bacterial infection of the skin and for many horse owners is a huge concern. Horses with feathers, sensitive skin or that live out for large periods of time can be susceptible.
Rain scald
Rain scald is a bacterial skin irritation caused by prolonged exposure to rain and wet conditions. Symptoms include the horse’s back being covered in small scabs.
Thrush
Thrush is a bacterial and a fungal yeast infection that is found around the frogs and heel bulbs of the horse’s feet. If the hoof is smelly or you notice any white flaking or signs of infection, you most likely have some thrush present.

What is Leucillin?
Leucillin is a revolutionary breakthrough in healthcare with many 100 times the effectiveness of standard antiseptics, while proven to be 100% safe, unlike many others.
Leucillin works by mimicking the body’s own immune system. While being totally safe, Leucillin is 300 times more effective at killing the pathogens that lead to infection than bleach and is almost instant in its effect. Unlike antibiotics, bacteria do not develop immunity to it.
What Leucillin does
It kills germs by destroying the bacteria on contact. No surviving bacteria means no resistance to skin recovery, demonstrating rapidly reduced recovery time.
What makes Leucillin the best?
It’s fast-acting extra-strength formula. Due to the speed in which surviving bacterial cells can reproduce, a 99.9% kill rate is not sufficient to prevent re-infection and resistance. Leucillin contains an extra strength formula, which kills 99.99999%, to ensure that not a single pathogen cell survives.
Leucillin instantly relieves sores, itching and redness associated with infection. It promotes rapid recovery, regrowth of lost hair or fur and restores good skin condition; it is fast, safe and incredibly effective.
Winter is a good time to enjoy spending time with your horse without the pressures of competing. Remember to keep your horse warm, well fed and exercised — this will also minimise the risk of potential ailments during the winter months.

Who else uses Leucillin?
“We have been using Leucillin for several months now and have been delighted with the results we have had. We now use it as our “go-to” treatment for any cuts, nicks and scrapes and have found it very useful in reducing infection and swelling of these sorts of wounds. The fact that it is totally safe to use around the eyes, mouth and other sensitive areas is also a big plus, and helps set this product further apart from the previous sprays that we would use around the yard.” — Jim Boyle BVSc, MRCVS, racehorse trainer
“I use Leucillin on all my horses whatever the problem! I have found excellent results with everything from thrush to cuts — even on myself! I have bottles in all corners of the yard and in the lorry. It is very quick and easy to apply and I wouldn’t be without it!” — Claire Deuten, international eventer
