RE: [RC] Hoof Supplements Revisited - Jim HollandKaren.... Do you know of any large scale studies that have been done in the United States on the effects of Biotin? Here are two more links of interest. http://www.horseshoes.com/advice/biotin/nhfnhr-b.htm http://www.horses-and-horse-information.com/articles/0702foodfeet.shtml I currently do not feed a biotin supplement. My own "one rat" study on Sunny, who has always had thin walls, poor heel growth, and a propensity to acquire White Line Disease, showed no improvement over two years on a 20mg Biotine/Methionine supplement. The only impact was on my pocket book. Jim, Sun of Dimanche+, and Mahada Magic Richard T.

It's made by Horse Guard and I think it's called Mega Dose. There has been published research on the use of biotin. It does help. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Ab stractPlus&list_uids=1459062&query_hl=2&itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Ab stractPlus&list_uids=8202678&query_hl=2&itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Ab stractPlus&list_uids=9932094&query_hl=2&itool=pubmed_docsum http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=Ab stractPlus&list_uids=7556045&query_hl=2&itool=pubmed_docsum Keep up with regular trims. If the hoof has a tendency to flare or chip it will help a lot to keep up with that yourself with a rasp.
