High-quality forage and well-formulated, properly fortified concentrates should provide the basis for his diet. Sometimes these components are not enough to guarantee optimal health. In cases in which beneficial nutrients cannot be delivered through a diet of forage, a concentrate, scientifically proven supplement should be considered. Biotin - horsemen, farriers, and veterinarians agree that problem hooves are often helped significantly through supplementation with biotin. Stronger hooves will hold shoes longer, are less likely to crack and crumble, and less prone to conditions such as white line disease.

INGREDIENTS THAT WORK
Why is biotin important?
Biotin is a water-soluble B vitamin that is essential for the maintenance of connective tissue found in skin, hooves, and hair.
Why is zinc important?
Zinc is a trace mineral vital to protein metabolism. Because hooves are predominantly composed of protein, zinc is integral to hoof strength. Zinc is also critical to proper immune function. Ker-A-Form contains zinc proteinate, the form of zinc most easily digested by horses.
Why are fat sources important?
Ker-A-Form contains full-fat soybean meal and lecithin. Both of these ingredients are abundant in fatty acids, which help maintain elastic skin and slick, glossy coats. In addition, fatty acids contribute to hoof health by creating a barrier that repels excessive moisture.
Why are methionine and iodine important?
Methionine is an amino acid necessary for proper hoof growth. Hoof-building processes depend largely on methionine to bind keratin fibers in the hoof. The bonds that occur during growth give the hoof wall strength and resiliency. Iodine controls the production of thyroid hormones, which are necessary for optimal health of hair and hooves.
