[RC] Hoof care Recommendations - nutrition - Naomi PrestonIn the equine nutrition courses I've taken from Dr. Eleanor Kellon,
she lists the following as the most common deficiencies impacting a
horse's hooves:
-Crude protein
-Sulfur containing amino acids (methionine primarily; cysteine)
-Essential fatty acids
-Zinc
-Copper
-Selenium
-Vitamin E
-Biotin
-Pyridoxine
Before adding a lot of supplements, the first thing to do is analyze
what the nutritional and mineral content of the horse's current diet is.
Then you can see where your deficiencies are.
If you'd like more help on this, you can email me privately at
