How to improve hoof quality This hoof supplement contains the optimum levels of biotin alongside a range of other vitamins, minerals and nutrients. A deficiency of protein in the diet, for example, can have an adverse effect on hoof growth, with weaker horn and a slower growth rate. Close attention should be paid to the nutrition of young, growing horses and lactating broodmares, which have very high protein requirements. Various amino acids are considered particularly significant for hoof growth. Methionine and cysteine, in particular, have been the focus of considerable research attention because they both contain sulphur, an essential element in the production of keratin. Methionine is an essential amino acid (meaning the horse can’t synthesize it himself and must consume it in his diet) so it is an important element to test for in diet analyses. These amino acids are believed to work synergistically with biotin, probably the most significant dietary supplement proven to improve hoof growth. Lysine has received some attention due to its role in young horse growth; however, it does not seem to have a significant effect on hoof growth.

Generally speaking, a horse that has a balanced and sufficient diet does not need anything else specifically for the feet. That said, some horses do indeed need a little extra help. This can be due to their genetic propensities or low dietary levels of some nutrients. In addition to the reduction in the incidence of PDD, the severity of lesions was also considerably reduced following 84 days of Test Article Administration. On Day 84, no new PDD lesions were observed, and 31(89%) of the 35 lesions observed at the start of testing had resolved completely. Of the four lesions observed on Day 84, two had improved (one from score 3, one from score 2), and two had remained at score 1. The hoof wall is the exterior of the hoof, made from a keratin-based substance. It provides a hard protective layer around the internal parts in the foot. It takes nine to 12 months for the hoof to grow from the coronary band to the toe.
