WHAT IS CAL-PLUS^® WITH BIOTIN?

CAL-PLUS WITH BIOTIN is a calcium, biotin and vitamin supplement for healthy, strong bones and hooves in horses. Specifically, it is:

A treatment that promotes the growth and formation of the hoof as well as the integrity of the hoof wall
A preventative and remedy for brittle, cracked and broken hooves

RECOMMENDED FOR

Horses on grain-based diets or those fed on sub-tropical grasses and hays.
Foals, young horses and pregnant mares.
Horses with hoof problems, such as cracks, brittleness and separation of the white-line.
Racing, working, pleasure and stud horses to prevent and treat deficiencies of biotin, calcium, vitamin A and D.

WHY CHOOSE CAL-PLUS WITH BIOTIN?

Three forms of calcium and important co-factors – For maximum calcium absorption and uptake.
Optimal calcium:phosphorus ratios
Combination of calcium and biotin improves hoof quality – By correcting loss of structure on the outside layers of the hoof wall as well as formation of the cells in the inner two layers of the hoof wall.
Aids in the prevention of bone disorders, shin soreness and joint injuries related to training or inadequate calcium intake or availability.
Sub-tropical grasses such as pangola, kikuyu, buffalo, green panic, para or setania contain high oxalate levels which bind calcium, making it unavailable for horses. CAL-PLUS WITH BIOTIN can provide much needed calcium for any horses feeding on sub-tropical grasses.
