Biotin powder
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that support strong hooves and connective tissue like ligaments and tendons. Biotin is required to synthesize keratin and supports a healthy coat and skin. Supplementing 20 mg per day can enhance hoof growth and quality.
The microbes of the hindgut produce a small amount (1-2 mg per day) of this vitamin which can be absorbed for horses to use. Horses that have hindgut issues related to high-grain intake, colic, oral antibiotics, or old age, might benefit from biotin supplementation to make up for poor production by the hindgut.
A strict biotin requirement has not been worked out in horses. However, studies have shown that at least 20 mg per day should be fed for a typical 500 kg horse to see benefits for hoof growth and hoof strength.
A single scoop (4 grams) of Mad Barn’s Biotin powder provides 20 mg of biotin.
