At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we recognize that precise nutrition is the bedrock of healthy livestock and pets. Biotin, or Vitamin B7, is a critical nutrient that significantly impacts animal health, particularly their hoof quality, skin condition, and overall metabolic efficiency. Ensuring animals receive optimal biotin levels in their feed is paramount for their well-being and productivity.

The requirement for biotin can vary based on species, age, physiological state, and diet. For instance, high-yielding dairy cows often experience a reduction in their natural biotin synthesis when fed high-energy diets, making supplementation beneficial. Research indicates that consistent supplementation with biotin can lead to improved hoof strength and durability in cattle, which in turn reduces lameness issues and enhances milk production. This directly impacts profitability for farmers.

In horses, biotin is widely acknowledged for its role in promoting strong, healthy hooves. Horses with brittle hooves or those prone to cracking often benefit from targeted biotin supplementation. The sulfur-containing amino acid methionine, often paired with biotin, further supports keratin formation, creating a synergistic effect on hoof quality. The feed industry often incorporates biotin into premixes and complete feeds to ensure a consistent intake.

Determining the correct dosage is crucial. While biotin is water-soluble and a surplus is generally excreted, supra-nutritional levels have shown particular benefits in areas like hoof health. Factors such as gut health and feed processing can also influence the availability of biotin. Therefore, sourcing biotin from reputable manufacturers that ensure consistent quality and purity is essential for feed formulators. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides high-quality biotin that meets the stringent requirements for animal feed, helping producers optimize the health and performance of their animals.
