BIO-HOOF® CARE & REPAIR™

WE ALL KNOW - NO HOOF, NO HORSE, SO GET THEIR HOOVES INTO GREAT SHAPE (DUSTLESS*)

wpe3.jpg (5957 bytes)Biotin, more than any other nutrient, affects the growth and strength of hoof walls and soles. Feeding biotin at levels well above those found in feedstuffs improves the quality of hoof growth. BIO-HOOF® CARE & REPAIR™ is recommended for horses suffering from split, shelly or cracked hooves.

There's more to hooves than just biotin. Other nutrients needed to build hooves include zinc, sulphur and calcium. BIO-HOOF® CARE & REPAIR™ includes these trace elements to ensure the biotin can be used to its greatest advantage. Ideally a protein supplement such as Livamol or Manomix should be fed concurrently for adequate protein to build hoof wall keratin.

Hooves take time to grow. It takes time for a new, stronger horn to be produced and appear as hoof. Treatment for 3-6 months allows time for new growth to move down the hoof.

PRESENTATION: A dustless* off-white powder.

ACTIVE CONSTITUENTS: Each 20 g dose contains:

INGREDIENT AMOUNT NRC# INGREDIENT AMOUNT NRC#
BIOTIN 15 mg 100% SULPHUR 2.5 g 25%
ZINC 270 mg 100% CALCIUM 6 g 30%
# The percentage of the National Research Council (NRC) horse maintenance requirements

PROPERTIES: BIO-HOOF® CARE & REPAIR™ has been formulated to provide the essential elements required for the growth of healthy hooves. The growth of a strong resilient hoof wall depends on an adequate supply of the vitamin biotin and the minerals calcium, sulphur and zinc. The protein keratin, formed from these micro-nutrients, gives strength to the hoof wall.

Research has shown that to regrow a healthy hoof takes between 6-9 months. In addition it has shown that such horses require good quality, balanced rations to ensure proper hoof growth and condition. It is recommended that CALCIPLEX BONE & JOINT™ and VITAM® HEALTH & VITALITY™ (Concentrate or Pellets), or MIN·A·VIT® RACING & BREEDING™ be fed concurrently to provide adequate vitamins and minerals that may be lacking in the diet.
