CAL-PLUS with BIOTIN is a calcium, biotin, and vitamin supplement for healthy, strong bones and hooves in horses. It’s formulated to 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. It can also aid in the development of strong, resilient hooves and skeletal structures in all horses on deficient diets. 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
• A combination of calcium and biotin improves hoof quality – By correcting loss of structure on the outside layers of the hoof wall as well as the 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 that bind calcium, making it unavailable for horses. CAL-PLUS with BIOTIN can provide much-needed calcium for any horses feeding on sub-tropical grasses.
