Farriers Choice™ - 1.2Kg

Description   NutriScience Farriers Choice - Provides the building blocks for hoof repair & growth. A unique combination of biotin, methionine, sulphur rich MSM plus a vast range of amino acids provides the building blocks for the manufacture of keratin in the hoof horn, therefore promoting hoof horn, hoof quality, growth & hardness. Benefits: Hoof quality, Hoof hardness, Hoof condition. Farrier's Choice - For cracked, shelly or soft hooves A significant number of horses in training develop hoof cracks or sand cracks during dry weather as a result of excessive drying out of the hoof wall, reduced flexibility or high loading stress on the quarters during exercise. Farrier's Choice unique formulation, promotes hoof growth, improves bonding and resilience of the hoof wall in horses prone to sand cracks or brittle hoof walls. Farrier's Choice: Contains high concentration of Biotin. Clinical reports show an improvement in hoof quality from feeding 10mg to 30mg of biotin per day to an adult horse. Contains MSM, which is rich in sulphur, which can further aid the integrity of hoof formation improving intrinsic tensile strength. The protein in the hoof keratin contains 4% sulphur. Contains calcium, which is essential to maintain the structural bonds of the internal hoof laminae. Contains a range of amino acids most importantly methionine, cytine & cysteine, which are required for keratogenosis and thus influence strength of the hoof horn. There is a direct relation between hoof horn hardness and relative cystine content. (Coenen and Spitzlei 1996) Methionine can be converted to non-essential amino acids cysteine and cystine. Contains zinc oxide, whereas biotin improves elasticity & tensile strength of the hoof horn, administration of zinc to horses improves hardness. Since the feed level requirement of zinc of 50mg/kg dry substance is usually not reached, supplemental administration is required especially in cases of hoof problems in foals following orthopedic intervention. Other helpful hints:Environmental stresses such as synthetic working surfaces, roadwork, certain bedding all put increased pressure on hooves. Studies also report that horses on a high grain diet may develop symptoms of foot soreness with brittle easily broken away hooves as a result of starch overload into the hind gut and development of hind gut acidosis. Help regulate moisture content of the hoof by regular daily applications of a good quality hoof dressing, this prevents excessive drying in hot weather and limit moisture uptake in wet weather.
