Cavalor Hoof Aid Care Supplement Increase Growth and Improves Quality 800g

Cavalor Hoof Aid supports hooves' healthy growth and quality

Cavalor Hoof Aid is a horse supplement to maintain proper hoof quality and to strengthen the hooves. It should also be used to prevent problems. Perfect for horses that have poor hoof quality. Equally for horses that grow hoof slowly.

Cavalor Hoof Aid is a nutritional aid that helps to maintain hoof quality and improve hoof strength.

In addition to bioavailable biotin, these include Vitamin A, Vitamin D3 and zinc. These ingredients are particularly important to good growth and hoof composition.

Cavalor Hoof Aid also contains methionine, an amino acid that plays an important role in the hoof’s developmental processes

To correct problems with the hoof, in the first instance we recommend a course of Hoof Aid Special (listed separately)

Biotin; all a hoof needs?

Biotin, also known as Vitamin H or Vitamin B8, is an essential, water-soluble B vitamin often given as a supplement to horses with weak hooves. There are only a few studies examining the effects of biotin on horses, with inconclusive results. In practice, however, the numbers of horses with visibly improved hooves after biotin supplementation cannot be denied.

Biotin is naturally present in grass among other things, and Cavalor feeds are also enriched with biotin to encourage healthy hoof growth. In addition, some bacteria in the colon are capable of producing biotin. Exactly how much biotin a horse requires is unknown, but an unbalanced diet can lead to deficiencies. Practical experience has shown that at least 25-30 mg biotin per day is necessary to create a noticeable effect.

Cavalor Hoof Aid combines bio-available biotin with high doses of Vitamins A and D3. Vitamin A supports the development of the hoof wall. Coronary band inflammation is linked to a lack of Vitamin A. Vitamin D3 plays an important role in the metabolism and development of the hoof tissue as well.

Scientific research has shown that a combination of different ingredients is more effective than biotin alone. Cavalor Hoof Aid also contains zinc. Zinc helps with keratin synthesis, which ensures strong, sturdy hooves. Furthermore, zinc supports the reproduction and repair of cells in the hoof and hoof wall. Cavalor Hoof Aid also contains calcium carbonate. Calcium is instrumental in the synthesis of sulphur bridges between the proteins in the hoof wall. Finally, methionine is an essential sulphurous amino acid that contributes to hoof flexibility.

• Vitamin A 2,000,000 IE/kg
• Vitamin D 180,000 IE/kg
• Biotin (vitamin H) 1,500 mg/kg
• Zinc sulphate monohydrate 1,015 mg/kg
• Methionine 9.9 %
• Calcium 2.9 %

Hoof wall growth starts at the coronary band. As the hoof wall grows quite slowly,
it can take several months for new growth to become visible and results to be
easily discernible.

We recommend continuing the use of Cavalor Hoof Aid for at least 3-6 months. Cavalor Hoof Aid is recommended primarily for hooves with mild problems or of poor quality.

Cavalor Hoof Aid is available in 800g Tubs.
