A composition for treating hoof thrush and similar ailments in horses is composed of a blend of copper sulfate dispersed in a viscous carrier. The copper sulfate may be anywhere between about 20 percent to 70 about percent by weight of the final product. An aqueous xanthan gum solution may constitute the balance of the composition, serving as the viscous carrier.

A wood preservative includes injectable particles comprising one or more sparingly soluble copper salts. The copper-based particles are sufficiently insoluble so as to not be easily removed by leaching but are sufficiently soluble to exhibit toxicity to primary organisms primarily responsible for the decay of the wood. Exemplary particles contain for example copper hydroxide, basic copper carbonate, copper carbonate, basic ...
