Original Farrier's Formula® in buckets or bags

Over 30 years of equine nutritional research, clinical trials and field testing have gone into every cup of Farrier's Formula®. While no single nutrient is the key to a healthy hoof, studies show that most horses with hoof problems respond to better overall nutrition. Farrier's Formula® provides lecithin, DL-methionine, ascorbic acid, copper, zinc, biotin, and other nutrients that allow the horse's liver and hoof corium to build and assemble a highly crosslinked hoof wall that is denser and more resistant to cracking or drying out. Farrier’s Formula® works because it furnishes all the nutrients known to be deficient if there is a problem with hoof growth or hoof quality. 

Feed at the replenishment feeding level (1 cup/170 g for a 1,000 lb horse) for horses with hoof problems.

Ker-A-Form™ is a scientifically formulated coat and hoof supplement that is named after one of the tissues it was developed to nourish: “keratin.” Keratin is the fibrous protein that forms the main structural component of hair and hooves. Without healthy keratin, hooves and hair grow slowly and become dull, dry, and brittle. The combination of nutrients found in Ker-A-Form support keratin as well as multiple other components that make up healthy skin, hair, and hooves.

First, Ker-A-Form includes both full-fat soybean meal and lecithin. Full-fat soybeans are abundant in amino acids and contain the greatest amount of lysine of any plant-source protein. Both soybeans and lecithin provide omega 3 fatty acids, which help maintain elastic skin and slick, glossy coats. Next, it provides biotin, a B-vitamin that is essential for the maintenance of connective tissue found in skin, hooves, and hair. In addition, research studies show that biotin is needed to support healthy hoof growth. Ker-A-Form also provides zinc, a trace mineral integral to hoof and hair strength; methionine, an amino acid necessary for proper hoof growth; and iodine, which supports the optimal health of hair and hooves. Finally, it contains yeast cultures, which help horses maintain a healthy digestive tract and support the digestibility of nutrients. 

CocoHoof™ Pellets encourage normal hoof growth and give weak, shelly hooves a boost with omega fatty acids, amino acids, and essential vitamins and minerals. Nutrients such as biotin, lysine, methionine, copper, and zinc support strong, tough hooves. Key in the production of keratin, a major protein, these same nutrients are also central to skin and coat health. CocoHoof is a well-balanced formula that contributes to overall hoof and skin integrity.

• High concentrations of amino acids lysine and methionine, plus gelatin, important for hoof growth
• Zinc, copper, and manganese, minerals necessary for the proper production of proteins responsible for structural integrity in skin, hair, and hooves
• Omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids help maintain pliability and moisture in the hoof
• Biotin, a vitamin that promotes healthy hoof growth
• Highly palatable base of sunflower seed meal, ground flax seed, and copra meal.
