Strong Hoof (1kg)

When it comes to maintaining healthy hooves in horses, Strong Hoof is a highly palatable and effective product that can help. It contains all the essential nutrients necessary for strong and tough hooves, including biotin, keratin, zinc, manganese, and glycine.

While biotin is an important nutrient for strengthening hooves, it’s not the only nutrient required for maintaining healthy hoof condition. In fact, studies have shown that most horses with hoof problems respond better to overall nutritional supplementation, which is why a comprehensive product like Strong Hoof is important.

Keratin, which is responsible for making the hoof hard, contains sulphur-containing amino acids such as cystine and methionine. Zinc is another important nutrient that improves hoof health and increases hoof strength. Supplementing with zinc and copper in the proper ratio (3:1) has been shown to improve the ability to grow and heal hoof tissue.

Manganese is a trace mineral that’s necessary for collagen formation and bone growth, while glycine is important for the living tissue inside the hoof. Without adequate intake of protein or required amino acids such as methionine and lysine, mature horses may experience reduced feed intake, body tissue loss, poor hair coat, and reduced hoof growth
