Keratex Feed Supplement For Hooves -  Improves The Growth &  Quality Of Hoof Horn.

Keratex Feed Supplement for Hooves is a broad spectrum formulation of pure ingredients in a concentrated powder form.

During the last few years considerable research has been undertaken to identify and determine the effects of dietary deficiencies which cause poor quality horn and soles. This type of deficiency can result in prematurely lost shoes, chronic bruising of the soles and more complex conditions occurring within the actual hoof structure.

Researchers, using definitive blood analysis techniques and high powered microscopy, have now identified the various vitamins, minerals and trace elements which are consistently lacking in horses with poor quality horn and soles. As a result it is now possible to accurately formulate broad spectrum feed supplements incorporating a range of identified ingredients specifically targeted at improving the development of keratin - the building blocks of hoof horn. Proper keratin production is essential in order to maintain the growth and quality of hoof horn and soles.

As a side note, because the hide and coat are also strongly dependent on keratin, there is the added benefit of improvements to the horse's general appearance and luster.

The advantages of feeding supplements in concentrated powder form, as opposed to pellets, are as follows:

• Powders are more easily mixed into the feed and cannot be discarded by fussy eaters.
• Powders are readily available for digestion and absorption through the gut wall, while pellets must first be broken down in order to release the contents for absorption.

Unlike pellet feeds, Keratex Feed Supplement for Hooves is formulated from raw ingredients without any further processing which can be damaging to vitamins, similar to the way raw vegetables are higher in vitamins than cooked vegetables.

Keratex Feed Supplement for Hooves is formulated from only the best quality pharmaceutical grade ingredients. It uses copper and zinc organic metalosates which, although more costly as raw materials, are more readily absorbed by the digestive system than the inorganic sulphate and oxide used in other supplements.

Unique to Keratex Feed Supplement for Hooves is the addition of a very special type of mineral called zeolite. This mineral not only provides a source of essential calcium, but also has the property of improving the absorption and retention of the other ingredients within the digestive system, so even less is passed through the gut and wasted.

A typical analysis for a 1.8 oz (50gm) measure of Keratex Feed Supplement for Hooves is as follows:

Contains NO added Selenium - Manufactured to GMP Standards
Contains NO Prohibited Substances - Approved by The Jockey Club

Feeding Rates- To be mixed with normal feed. Quantities are per DAY, not per feeding. Measuring scoop included.

A 3kg tub will last an adult 1000 lb horse approximately 60 days at a recommended feeding rate of 50gm per day. When horn quality has improved to a constant level it may be possible to maintain condition feeding half the above quantities per day.
