Well-functioning hooves are a prerequisite for durability and success on the competition track.
Just as hooves vary among different horses, the problems manifest in various ways such as cracks, weak hoof walls, etc. A horse's hoof is affected by several factors such as environment, genetics, and usage. As we use horses in different ways, they also have different needs. Many horses manage well without shoes, but unfortunately, many have significant problems despite wearing shoes. Environment and genetics affect both the shape and quality of the hooves, which in negative cases can lead to crumbling hooves with poor growth, making it difficult to fit and keep shoes on.
Poor horn growth is a common cause of problems that is also difficult to address. Massaging the coronet bands is one approach, and in conjunction with this, there are several creams that can be helpful.
Most importantly, however, is to ensure that the horse has enough "building blocks" for the production of adequate horn. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as the nutritional content of our feed is not always sufficient or adequate. To utilize the nutrients, a gut flora composed of "friendly" microorganisms is also needed.
Hoofbuilder is a unique combination of nutrients that have proven to be significant for the hooves. We have also added prebiotics that contribute to a healthy gut flora. Biotin and MSM are a good combination with beneficial synergistic effects that accelerate growth and are fundamental for the construction of the hoof wall. MSM, together with silicon, helps make the hooves harder and more resilient. Biotin and silicon are also important for the keratinocytes; the skin cells' construction. Inulin and yeast fiber (prebiotics) contribute to a healthy gut flora and thus better absorption of the other nutrients. The challenge with products aimed at improving horn quality is that they must be given over a long period before results can be seen. The supplementary nutrients can only affect the horn that is newly formed, and since horn growth occurs from the coronet band, it can take up to a year before the results of the supplement are visible.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Supplement for the horse's hooves.
APPLICATION AREA To strengthen and improve horn growth.
DOSAGE 1.5 scoops (20g)/day, mixed in the feed.
