Mug

Mock (rasp), also known as Pastern Dermatitis or Intertrigo, is a common skin inflammation in the pasterns of horses. It is often caused by damp conditions, mud, bacteria, fungi or mites. Symptoms may include:

• Redness and swelling
• Scabs or flakes
• Pain on touch
• Sometimes lameness or stiffness

Treatment and care:
Besides regular skin care, a horse with mug often needs resistance and cell metabolism support to recover faster. Clean the pastern regularly and always follow your vet's advice.

Supplementary support with Unique B30:
Unique B30 contains ingredients that support recovery and strengthen resistance:

• Vitamin A for skin repair
• Vitamin C: strengthens the immune system and helps fight infections
• Vitamin E: acts as an antioxidant and promotes healthy skin and coat
• Zinc: essential for skin repair, wound healing and resistance
• Selenium: supports the immune system and helps reduce inflammation
• B vitamins (B1, B6, B12): promote metabolism and help the body recover
• Copper and manganese chelates for skin regeneration
• Amino acids (L-lysine, L-threonine, L-valine) for tissue repair and vitality

Horses can develop mug due to weakened resistance, often caused by damp conditions, irritation or a reduced skin barrier. Unique B30 supports resistance and skin health, reducing the risk of mugging and promoting recovery. This is why we often recommend Unique B30 for mug as a supplement to proper cleaning and veterinary advice.
