Biotex-80 Case Study

It’s every horse owner’s worst nightmare- you go to the field to see that your horse has three normal hooves… and one hoof half missing.

For Clair, one of our customers, this shocking scenario became a reality.

Her thoroughbreds’ hoof was degloved, meaning part of the hoof capsule was completely ripped off.

This type of injury can be catastrophic to horses and is often the result of poor overall hoof health.

When a hoof is degloved it exposes sensitive, blood-rich tissue that interlocks with the laminae- the horse's shock-absorbing system. Not only will this cause the horse immense pain, but they will be left with severe lameness as they are unable to bear weight on the injured leg.

Horses can recover from this type of injury, but the prognosis is not good and at best the process of healing is long and not guaranteed.

Biotex-80 Case Study

Fortunately, the outcome for Clair and her horse is a positive one, and she puts it down to using Biotex-80.

Clair said: ‘’He got the injury on the 15^th of February this year, but in just 8 months the hoof has almost completely grown back. This is unheard of for thoroughbreds!’’

With 9 weeks of box rest and the right nutritional support, her horse made an astonishing recovery.

How Does Biotex-80 Work

Biotex-80 is Hestevard’s leading hoof-improving supplement. It is a superior feed supplement for horses with poor hoof condition, with its name deriving from the very high levels of Biotin (80mg per daily serving) which is vital for hoof strength and condition.

This product provides all the nutrients necessary to protect and nourish every layer within the hoof horn, containing considerably more biotin than most hoof nutraceuticals. This Sulphur enriched formula, along with the significant levels of Methionine, MSM and Zinc, will ensure that important nutrients are supplied to the horses' diet, to optimise hoof growth and improve the integrity of the hoof.

Hestevard guarantees customer satisfaction when horses are taken through the full recommended 150-day course.
