Horses' hooves are one of their most essential features, and it's crucial to keep them healthy and strong. Hoof problems can cause lameness and discomfort, and they can be challenging to manage. One way to maintain healthy hooves is by using the right hoof care products, and that's where Hydrolyzed Keratin comes into play.


Hydrolyzed Keratin is a protein that is derived from sheep wool. It's often used in hair and skincare products, but it's also beneficial for horses' hooves. This protein contains a variety of amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. When applied topically to hooves, Hydrolyzed Keratin helps to strengthen and repair the hoof wall, preventing cracking and chipping.


At Draw It Out, we understand the importance of healthy hooves, which is why we've included Hydrolyzed Keratin in our Silver Hoof EQ Therapy®. Our proprietary blend of ingredients includes Hydrolyzed Keratin, which helps to promote healthy hoof growth and prevent hoof damage.


Here are some of the benefits of Hydrolyzed Keratin for horses' hooves:


Improved Hoof Strength: Hydrolyzed Keratin contains high levels of cysteine, an amino acid that's essential for the formation of keratin. Keratin is the protein that makes up the hoof wall, and when there's a deficiency in cysteine, the hoof wall can become weak and brittle. By using Hydrolyzed Keratin, you can improve the strength and resilience of the hoof wall.


Increased Hoof Growth: Hydrolyzed Keratin also contains other essential amino acids that are necessary for hoof growth, such as methionine and lysine. These amino acids help to support the formation of new cells, which leads to increased hoof growth.


Enhanced Moisture Retention: The keratin protein in Hydrolyzed Keratin helps to seal moisture into the hoof, preventing it from becoming too dry and brittle. This is especially important in dry climates or during the winter months when hooves are prone to cracking.


Natural Healing Properties: Hydrolyzed Keratin has natural healing properties that help to repair damage to the hoof. It can help to strengthen the hoof wall, repair cracks, and prevent future damage.


At Draw It Out, we believe in using only the highest quality ingredients in our products. Hydrolyzed Keratin is just one of the many natural, effective ingredients that we've included in our Silver Hoof EQ Therapy®. Our formula is designed to maintain healthy hooves by providing protection against a wide spectrum of microbial infections, balancing the moisture content of the hoof, and supplying the necessary nutrients for strong hoof growth.


In conclusion, Hydrolyzed Keratin is a game-changer for horses' hooves. It provides essential amino acids that promote healthy hoof growth, strengthens the hoof wall, and prevents damage.
