Why Zinc is important for horses

Zinc for horses is a key ingredient to help support healthy hooves.

Zinc helps to prevent the destruction of keratin and is involved in the health and integrity of the hoof. Studies on groups of horses with poor hoof horn quality have shown lower Zinc blood and hoof levels than those horses with normal feet. This may be due to individual Zinc absorption, metabolism, or retention abnormalities.

Despite being tough and resilient keeping your horse’s hooves healthy can ensure they enjoy a better quality of life. Understanding what to look out for to support healthy hoof growth can be key to your horse remaining healthy and strong.
