Description
Combining fibre sources that are all low in starch and sugars, Healthy Hooves is ideal for promoting gut health. A comprehensive range of vitamins and minerals are included to complement those naturally occurring in alfalfa to provide a balanced diet for your horse or pony.Several studies have been conducted into how much biotin a horse requires. A study published in the Equine Vet Journal (1992), found that greater growth rates and hardness of hooves was once achieved at a day-to-day feeding rate of 15mg of biotin than at 7.5mg in horses diets. The level of biotin included in Dengie Healthy Hooves has been formulated accordingly and thus when fed at the beneficial rates will provide a 500kg horse with 15mg of biotin per day.Research published in the Vet Record (1987) demonstrated that alfalfa increases the quality and quantity of horn growth which was once attributed to the highly to be had calcium and essential amino acids found naturally in alfalfa.B vitamins have a variety of functions within the horse’s digestive system including energy metabolism and growth and development. Healthy Hooves was once the first chopped fibre feed available on the market with a full range of these kind of important nutrients.
