Biotin bolus

Prevent hoof problems and lameness in cattle with a biotin bolus


Our biotin bolus Hooftop is a slow-release cattle supplement designed to improve hoof strength and prevent various hoof problems. Lameness in cattle lowers production significantly and causes a major economic problem for farmers. Biotin and zinc are therefore crucial additives in your hoof care for cows. 

Our biotin bolus can be used for cows over 250 kg.

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.
