The influence of biotin on hoof health

The influence of biotin on hoof health is well documented. Numerous research findings have proved that providing dairy cows with a daily biotin supplementation of 20 mg leads to a decrease in the occurrence of several prevalent hoof issues. 

Pötzsch and colleagues found that biotin reduces the cases of white line disease by 45% in multiparous cows [8], while another study found an impact on white line disease lesions after 2 months already. In a comprehensive split-herd intervention study with 900 cows across five UK farms, the administration of 20 mg of biotin per day resulted in a 50% reduction in the occurrence of lameness attributed to white line lesions.
