Opti-HOOF is recommended by veterinarians and farriers as part of a healthy hoof care regime for encouraging better hoof quality.
Opti-hoof is also a proven nutrient to encourage hard hooves and more durable sole. It promotes healthy new hoof growth from the coronet down and a hoof more resilient to wear, brittleness and chipping whilst helping to build a stronger, thicker sole.
Research shows some horses don’t digest well and as a result don’t produce enough biotin naturally (despite adequate fibre). Research also shows that adding biotin back to the diet can drastically improve hoof health. Research shows results begin to show in 6 weeks of feeding and should be continued for horses with a history of poor hoof quality.
Biotin is recommended where the diet is generally good (contains adequate protein, fibre and other vitamins and minerals). By adding biotin, you are putting back what the horse is not making naturally. Some breeds are also noted for poor hoof quality and may need ongoing supplementation to maintain hoof integrity.
Also see Opti-Min if your diet is lacking in other minerals due to low feed rations, poor grass quality or restricted pasture access.
Opti-HOOF is an effective low dose biotin hoof concentrate providing nutritional support to hooves.
