FDA Registered Origin
Al Moin Exports is a direct-from-source manufacturer and bulk exporter of premium **Natural Hooves** (dehydrated water buffalo hooves) for dog treats. Harvested from grass-fed, free-range water buffalo (bubalus bubalis) within registered veterinary zones in India, our hooves represent a highly durable, 100% natural, single-ingredient dental chew. Consisting of dense, natural keratin protein, water buffalo hooves wear down slowly under saliva, providing a safe, high-durability chew that naturally sweeps away plaque and tartar buildup on canine teeth.
At our Hapur processing facility, raw hooves are immediately subjected to rigorous boiling and high-pressure steam cleaning to remove any raw tissue or bone core traces. The hooves are carefully trimmed, edge-smoothed with sanding machinery, and slow-dried in computerized dehydration systems to bring the moisture content below 12%. This guaranteed moisture index prevents microbial mold or bacterial activity during container shipping, delivering a clean, low-odor treat for bulk buyers and private label brands.

True low-odor natural hooves are the result of pristine raw material hygiene and precise temperature-humidity profiles. At our Hapur export plant, raw hooves are washed and boiled at high temperatures to completely flush out any organic fluids, blood cells, and residual tissue remnants. Specialized machinery is used to shave down any rough edges and smooth sharp lines.
The cleaned hooves are dried in hot-air dehydration systems, bringing the moisture index below 12%. This guaranteed dryness eliminates the medium for bacterial development, mold, or rancid fats. Prior to boxing, all hooves pass through electronic conveyor metal detection units and undergo PCR lab analysis to guarantee zero detection of pathogens (Salmonella, E. Coli, or Enterobacteriaceae), with a physical Lab Certificate of Analysis issued for every batch.
We specialize in serving private labels, e-commerce brands, and wholesale distributors in North America, Canada, Europe, and the UK. Our packaging division supports private label branding parameters, enabling brands to implement their custom-printed stand-up bags, pegboard peg bags, shrink wraps, or barcoded cartons. Sourcing directly from Al Moin Exports yields immense cost efficiencies and completely scales your high-volume pet supplies chain.
Logistics support includes FOB shipping from India's primary maritime container ports or door-to-door DDP services directly to your US, Canadian, or European warehouses, fully custom-cleared and duty-settled.
Natural Hooves are highly volumetric. We pack them inside heavy-duty double-walled corrugated boxes, accompanied by silica desiccants to prevent humidity shifts during ocean transit. A standard 20-foot dry container (FCL) can hold up to 6.0 to 7.5 metric tons of hooves, while a 40-foot HQ container accommodates up to 13.0 to 15.5 metric tons.
Our compliance division guarantees hassle-free import clearance at US, Canada, EU, and UK customs. We issue government-backed Sanitary Health Certificates, Veterinarian Inspections, Certificates of Origin (APEDA), HACCP certificates, and physical third-party laboratory analysis documents proving zero pathogen trace levels.
Our processing plant operates under globally verified quality controls: FDA Registered Facility (US), APEDA registered, and certified for ISO 9001:2015 and HACCP control. We support export guidelines for US FDA, CFIA (Canada), and TRACES (Europe).
Unprocessed hooves retain trace fats and inner tissues that rot and create strong odors. We eliminate this issue by boiling the raw hooves and scraping away any interior tissue or fat. Our low-temperature dehydration chambers slowly extract moisture down to <12%, ensuring completely stable, clean, low-odor treats.
Absolutely. The hollow interior cavity of our natural hooves is thoroughly cleaned, making it the perfect vessel for stuffing. Many of our private label partners stuff these hooves with peanut butter, sweet potato, meat pastes, or bone marrow mixtures, creating a high-value "filled hoof" product line that we can also co-pack directly at our factory.
Yes, we provide free physical sample kits featuring standard and large buffalo hooves. Sample shipments are dispatched via express air couriers (FedEx/DHL) directly to your pet product company or lab facility for material, density, and dimension analysis.
We support FOB (Mumbai or Mundra ports), CFR, CIF, and DDP (Direct to your US or Canadian 3PL warehouse, fully customs-cleared and duties settled through our Wyoming, USA sales entity). Our standard lead time is 45 to 60 days from deposit clearance and artwork finalization, depending on order volume and packaging specifications.
