NAF Biotin

The supplementation of 15mg of Biotin daily has been found to be beneficial to horn growth and strength.

It is thought that biotin is of particular importance to the hoof surface membrane, the periople, which controls the passage of water in and out of the hoof, and which is easily damaged when the horse is in work. N.A.F. Biotin also contains additio l nutrients found to be of importance in hoof growth.

Approximately 50% of the keratin in the hoof wall is made of sulphur, hence the smell of burning sulphur when hot shoeing. Supplementation of a bio-available source of sulphur will encourage healthy horn growth, and be of particular use to those horses that suffer from brittle hooves.

The amino acid DL Methionine, works with organic sulphur to establish good horn growth by providing the nutritio l elements required to support cracks and il holes. Zinc is added as a vital nutrient for hoof strength. Calcium is also added as reports show that biotin can only form bonds in the presence of calcium.

To be given in feed. 4 heaped measures (50g) per day supplies the recommended supplement of 15mg of Biotin. Preferably fed at last evening feed as better absorption is achieved during the resting period.

1.5kg lasts up to 30 days
