we bought a gelding last fall that seemed to grow no hoof
whatsoever.....we had to wait 16 weeks to get enough foot to (sorta)
reshoe. Not a great trait in an endurance horse.
After checking out all the supplements/costs, I bought a supplement
called "Biotin Plus" made by Paragon. It has 50 mg of biotin per scoop
(about 1 1/3 oz).
I'm on my 3rd tub of the stuff, feeding 2 Scoops/day. The shoer was out
Monday, and at 9 weeks we took off 3/4" of hoof. Definite improvement!
The only thing that has changed is the addition of the Biotin Plus.
The ingredients per scooop are:
biotin 50 mg
Yucca Powder 500 mg
D-Calcium Pantothenate 500 mg
L-Methionine 25 mg
In a base of Linseed meal, brewers yeast, wheat germ, rice bran and
spices.
It smells really yummy..kinda like gingerbread spices.
I buy it for $29.95 for 5 lbs. i know that Jeffer's carries it also.
hope the info helps....
