Ummm, this needs a little clarifying.  Biotin supplementation will improve
*quality*, but NOT *rate* of growth.  I don't have a problem with adding a
biotin supplement (and agree with your other statements regarding biotin),
but don't expect it to increase how fast the hoof grows.  Quality of horn
tissue didn't seem to be an issue here, though.
