Re: [RC] [RC] Vet Question-Biotin recommendation - Dawn Carrie

I seem to remember Susan Garlinghouse saying that horses will simply pee out any more than 20-25 mg of biotin per day.  She recommended Paragon Biotin Plus as having the most biotin for your buck.  That's what we use.  One scoop has 50 mg, so we give 1/2 scoop per day.  It used to contain yucca, but no longer does...so no need to discontinue it a few days before a ride.

 In an article by Oscar Swanstrom, DVM, MS (2005 Int'l Equine Vet. Hall of Fame and Int'l Horseshoeing Hall of Fame) in Thoroughbred Times, Mar 25, 2006 he said horses need 100mg of biotin per day plus a couple of grams of L-methionine.   It seems I remember research discussed on ridecamp (a couple of years back) indicating that 15mg per day does the job.   Maybe the 100mg recommendation is based on newer research.  Anyone know?   Kathleen
