- Strong Astringent and Tissue Contractor Mechanism: Alum ions interact directly with plasma proteins, neutralizing charges and causing rapid protein precipitation. Veterinary Benefit: It shrinks swollen tissues, contracts expanded blood vessels, and tightens mucous membranes. This makes it an ideal treatment for veterinary conditions like ulcerative stomatitis (mouth sores), pharyngitis, metritis, and leukorrhea in livestock.
- Styptic and Hemostatic Action Mechanism: It induces the rapid coagulation of blood at the capillary level, establishing an instant surface crust. Veterinary Benefit: Quickly stops bleeding from superficial cuts, dehorning wounds, shearing nicks, tail-docking, or minor hoof injuries.
