If your horse has bad hoofs, it is almost always said:"Oh then you just have to feed it some biotin!" If only it were that simple, good hoof care requires more than just feeding your horse a biotin supplement. The quality, shape and position of hoofs are largely innate. How can you help to keep them in good shape? With the right stable management, a farrier who knows his trade and the right nutrition. In our blog: You can read more about tips and tricks for healthy hoofs here. For now, we'll stick to the topic: Biotin as a hoof supplement for horses.
Scientific research has shown that your horse needs at least 25 mg of biotin per day to see a difference in the quality of the hooves. In addition, research has also been done on the effectiveness of biotin in horses in combination with other ingredients. This showed that biotin in combination with other ingredients is more effective than biotin alone. That's why Cavalor's hoof supplements contain not only biotin, but also minerals, vitamins and amino acids, to optimally support the health of the hoof.
Hooves grow on average only 1 cm per month. Due to this slow growth, you will never see the effect of a hoof supplement within a few weeks. This is because the hoof wall needs time to renew itself and the supplement must be absorbed by the body and transported to the hoof. All in all, this is a complicated physical process that takes a lot of time. As a result, you will only see the effect of a hoof supplement with biotin after 3 to 6 months.
Cavalor Hoof Aid Special contains more than just biotin. It has been developed to promote hoof growth and hoof quality and is easy to give over the feed.
