How to improve hoof quality and even better prevent hoof issues

 

 

Magnesium and chloride play an important role in hoof wall integrity. Anecdotal evidence and extensive DUWELL case studies show how effective feeding plenty of these 2 minerals is when it comes to hoof quality. 

Veterinarians recommend feeding good levels of magnesium to aid in laminitis recovery. Magnesium dilates blood vessels and promotes circulation. Chloride assists with correction of ph imbalance caused by excessive pasture and potassium intake.

Copper, selenium and zinc also play an important part in hoof and coat quality. The bio available forms in DUWELL Minerals and Vitamins powder ensures proper absorption. Good quality minerals are vital for the proper utilization of protein and other nutrients in hay, pasture and feed. Much less protein needs to be fed when adequate levels of minerals are provided.

Feeding plenty of hay ensures production of biotin which is a bi-product of fibre digestion – no hoof supplements needed! 

Flax Seed Oil provides vital omega 3 fatty acids essential for skin, hoof and hair growth. DUWELL Flaxseed oil is cold stored right up until customer purchase, to ensure retention of Omega 3 which is otherwise lost in 3 weeks out of the fridge.
