We used the Select brand biotin supplement for a period where Jakar was
recovering from surgery and his hoof quality was compromised. His feet
literally fell apart and had to be fiberglassed to hold a shoe for about
six months afterward. The biotin/zinc methionine supplement caused a
huge increase in growth of new hoof horn. It did go a long way for the
price too. I had to cut the dose in half after the first two months
because the growth looked more like what you'd expect at ten weeks when
our six-week trimming rolled around. It was amazing! There may be
other factors involved here, but I do give a lot of credit to the biotin
for the improvement. I didn't continue to use the supplement afterward
however. It was a tool for the specific problem at the time. ~Nikki
