Biotin – all that a hoof needs?
Biotin, also called vitamin H or vitamin B8, is an essential water-soluble B vitamin often used as a supplement for horses with weak hoof quality.
Although there have been few studies to verify the effectiveness of biotin on horses and the results have been mixed, many horses have had visibly improved hoof quality after taking biotin.
Biotin is naturally present in grass and Cavalor feeds are enriched with biotin to promote healthy hoof growth. Biotin is also produced by some gut bacteria.
It is not yet known exactly how much biotin a horse needs, but an unbalanced diet can cause deficiencies. Experience has shown that a minimum dose of 25–30 mg biotin per day is required to have a real effect.
