BETHLEHEM, PA (May 23, 2001) – Straight Arrow Products, Inc., the makers of The Original Mane‘n Tail®, has introduced Pro-Tect, a new line of fast acting, equine-strength, antimicrobial products that include Medicated Shampoo, Topical Skin and Wound Treatment and Wound Cream. Devon Katzev, President of Straight Arrow, indicated, "these antimicrobial products were developed specifically for the treatment of girth itch, rain rot, ringworm, as well as fungus and bacteria." Pro-Tect is a gentle, cleansing, therapeutic formula that goes beyond other simple antifungal or ordinary antibacterial products. It provides complete protection and treatment of topical skin problems. With its skin conditioning emollients, Pro-Tect does not irritate or stain and has a pleasant scent.

"No matter which organism initially creates a skin problem, there are numerous opportunistic organisms that can additionally invade the vulnerable site preventing skin healing," claims Katzev. "Pro-Tect provides complete broad-spectrum effectiveness that eliminates all of these organisms with proven results for faster healing."

The Pro-Tect line also includes Mane‘n Tail Antimicrobial Thrush Treatment. "Our thrush product provides full and complete treatment for the entire hoof," said Katzev. "It is a fast acting, deep penetrating formula that does not stain, burn or cause irritation."

The Pro-Tect product line is immediately available in tack and feed stores throughout the country.
