How long does a container of Integri-Hoof last?
At Kauffman’s recommended 3-ounce daily serving, the 5.625 lb pail provides about a 30-day supply for one horse. The 18.75 lb size lasts approximately 100 days, while the 28.125 lb pail provides about 150 days. Actual use will vary if the daily amount is adjusted.
Can I feed Integri-Hoof to my horse year-round?
Yes. Kauffman’s recommends Integri-Hoof for everyday use and specifically notes that it can be fed year-round to provide consistent nutritional support for normal hoof growth. Because hoof growth occurs gradually, keeping the feeding routine consistent can help ensure the horse receives the supplied nutrients each day rather than only during certain seasons.
How much biotin does Integri-Hoof provide per day?
The manufacturer’s recommended 3-ounce daily serving provides 20 mg of biotin. Integri-Hoof combines this with other nutrients involved in normal hoof growth, including amino acids and trace minerals. When comparing hoof supplements, consider the full formula and your horse’s existing diet rather than evaluating the biotin amount by itself.
What amino acids are included in Integri-Hoof besides lysine and methionine?
In addition to lysine and methionine, Integri-Hoof provides glycine and naturally occurring amino acids including proline, tyrosine, phenylalanine, cystine, arginine, and leucine. Kauffman’s highlights glycine because it contributes to collagen production, while the broader amino acid profile can support the nutritional building blocks used in normal hoof growth and maintenance.
Does Integri-Hoof contain selenium?
Selenium is not listed in Kauffman’s current ingredient list or guaranteed analysis for Integri-Hoof. The listed trace minerals include copper, zinc, iron, cobalt, iodine, and manganese. This can be useful to know when comparing supplements or reviewing your horse’s complete feeding program, particularly if selenium is already supplied through feed or another supplement.
