RE: Re: Biotin????

I had zip results feeding just biotin. I fed 25 mg per day for 6 months and
saw no change in hoof growth rate. I then fed methionine alone for 3-4
months and saw no change. I then fed Farnam's H.B.15 and within a couple of
months the TB's hoof growth rate increased significantly, went from 6 week
shoeing intervals to 4-5 week intervals.  Hoof quality also eventually
improved as the new hoof grew downwards. Just my personal experience with a
single horse.

Whichever one gives you the most biotin for the price.  There's lots of
debate about whether the other "stuff" like zinc, methionine, etc is
necessary, but the original research done at the Spanish Riding School of
Vienna *only* provided biotin.  So I regard anything else in there as
marketing fluff, not a required or even beneficial nutrient.

The most concentrated/cost effective brand I've found is Paragon Biotin
Plus---theirs is 50 mg of biotin per ounce, you can cut that in half and
double how long the bucket will last.  The body doesn't store biotin, only
utilize 15-20 mg per day, so any excess fed just ends up in the pee puddle.
Biotin Plus does also contain yucca in very low doses, so just stop feeding
it a week before a ride.
