Horses

Feeding biotin to horses is a common practice to support healthy hoof and coat development.

Biotin is a B-vitamin that plays a crucial role in the production of keratin, a protein that makes up the hoof and hair.

Supplementation with biotin can be beneficial for horses with weak or brittle hooves, as well as those with dull or thin coats.

Feeding rate
Biotin 2% contains 20mg of biotin per 1g of powder. A 500kg horse can be fed up to 20mg-40mg per day.
