As an aid in the prevention and treatment of deficiencies of Biotin, Calcium, Vitamin A and D in the diets of racing, working, pleasure and stud horses.  Helps in the development of strong, resilient hooves and skeletal structure in all horses on deficient diets.

A daily intake of Cal-Plus with Biotin will help to ensure the development and maintenance of a strong and sound musculoskeletal system, including the hoof.  Horses on high grain/bran diets, or those grazing tropical pastures, should receive the recommended dose of Cal-Plus with Biotin each day to help ensure an optimum calcium:phosphorous ratio to maintain strong healthy bones, ligaments and tendons.

Provision of a regular intake of Cal-Plus with Biotin provides both calcium and biotin, that when combined promote the growth, structural integrity and resilience of the hoof walls.  For horses with sound feet, the manufacturer recommends standard Cal-Plus.  Feed Cal-Plus with Biotin to horses with brittle, cracked, shelly or broken away hoof walls.

Beneficial for:

• Brittle, cracked or shelly hooves.
• White crumbly hooves.
• Slow growing hooves.
• Maintaining bone strength and density.

Why Use Cal-Plus with Biotin?

• Works on the inside and the outside of the hoof to improve hoof condition while maintaining strong bone, joint and muscle structures.
• A hoof and bone food in one supplement!

  Recommended Daily Dose:

  Mix Cal-Plus with Biotin into the horses feed daily.  One level scoopful contains 30g.

  Racing Horses (450 - 500kg):

  • Thoroughbreds: 60 - 90g/day
  • Standardbreds: 90 - 110g/day
  • Quarter Horses: 70 - 90g/day
  • Arabians: 60 - 75g/day

  Performance Horses (450 - 500kg):

  • Endurance: 60 - 120g/day
  • Eventers: 60 - 105g/day
  • Showjumpers: 60g/day
  • Polo horses: 60 - 90g/day
  • Show/Dressage horses: 60g/day

  Ponies (225 - 250kg): 

  • 45 to 60g/day

  Other horses (breeding, growing or old horses):

  • 1 x 30g scoopful per 200kg bodyweight.

  Note: 

  1. Horses in fast/hard work, or on high grain/bran diets should receive the higher recommended dosage.
  2. Horses that sweat heavily should receive the higher recommended dosage.
  3. It is preferable not to mix any calcium into wet bran mixtures.
  4. The recommended dose rates have been calculated to satisfy the calcium requirements based on common diets and activity.  However, a veterinarian may prescribe amounts in excess of those recommended to horses with skeletal or hoof abnormalities.  Horses with poor hooves should receive adequate levels of protein in their diets to provide essential amino acids, which in conjunction with a daily intake of Cal-Plus with Biotin will assist in improving hoof structure.
