Hoof growth requires an adequate supply of sulphur – rich protein, essential vitamins such as BIOTIN, and minerals such as COPPER and ZINC. Most horse feeds will contain adequate levels of these nutrients, sufficient for the average horse or pony. Some however require more. You can achieve this by adding A BIOTIN + METHIONINE + ZINC supplement such as Horseheath Hoof Hardener to your horse’s daily feed. There are a number of such supplements on the market with various ingredients which increase cost & are not essential if your horse is otherwise receiving a balance diet. If in doubt complete the NUTRITION ENQUIRY form for advice.
Feeds containing good quality protein, such as soya, rich in sulphur-containing amino acids such as methionine and cystine will help maintain healthy hooves.
