Product Description
An optimal hoof structure results in prolonged shoe adhesion. Multiple splits and cracking around the bottom of the hoof wall are a common problem, and are caused by poor hoof structure. This poor quality can provoke contracted heels, causing the frog to lose it's flexibility and the ability to pump blood throughout the rest of the hoof, degrading the condition even further. The hoof then loses it's elasticity and is then incapable of holding shoes for any length of time. Regular care and attention by a good, competent farrier is essential to maintain hooves in good, sound condition, but even when this is the case, many suffer from poor quality horn and dry, brittle feet. In recent years, more attention has been given to the effect of equine dietary needs in relation to the quality of hoof and it's growth rate. Growth of the hoof requires certain nutrients, including sulphur, zinc, methionine, biotin and cystine. The stabled horse's diet is liable to be deficient in one or more of these nutrients, particularly if the hay is not of good quality and/or the horse's access to grazing is limited. Or, indeed, it may be that the essential nutrients are not presented in the correct, bio-assimilative form, and consequently inefficiently used by the horse. N.A.F. Hoof & Hide, contains a broad spectrum of the nutrients currently considered to be vital in hoof growth and quality. Bio-available organic sulphur is of particular importance to keratins, from which the hoof is composed, as it is one of the key nutritional elements involved in di-sulphide linkage (cross-bonding) of the hoof. An optimal hoof structure results in prolonged shoe adhesion. Information from consumer trials conducted in 1993 showed that N.A.F. Hoof & Hide was effective in 85% of the cases in question.
