Provides the building blocks for hoof repair & growth
Farrier's Choice from NutriScience, a unique combination of biotin, zinc, methionine, sulphur rich MSM plus a vast range of amino acids provides the building blocks for the manufacture of keratin in the hoof horn, therefore promoting hoof horn, hoof quality, growth & hardness. Benefits: Hoof quality, Hoof hardness, Hoof condition
Contains :
A high concentration of Biotin. Clinical reports show an improvement in hoof quality from feeding 10mg to 30mg of biotin per day to an adult horse.
MSM, which is rich in sulphur, which can further aid the integrity of hoof formation improving intrinsic tensile strength. The protein in the hoof keratin contains 4% sulphur.
Calcium, which is essential to maintain the structural bonds of the internal hoof laminae
A range of amino acids most importantly methionine, cytine & cysteine, which are required for keratogenosis and thus influence strength of the hoof horn. There is a direct relation between hoof horn hardness and relative cystine content. (Coenen and Spitzlei 1996) Methionine can be converted to non-essential amino acids cysteine and cystine.
Zinc oxide, whereas biotin improves elasticity & tensile strength of the hoof horn, administration of zinc to horses improves hardness. Since the feed level requirement of zinc of 50mg/kg dry substance is usually not reached, supplemental administration is required especially in cases of hoof problems in foals following orthopedic intervention.
Feeding instructions:
For an adult horse (500kg) Give 20gm daily
For foals give 10gm daily.
Available in either 1.2kg or 3kg containers
