Farrier's Formula contains thirteen guaranteed
nutrients necessary for healthy dermal tissues. It is important
to provide a balanced nutritional supplement that covers all
dermal tissues, rather than only one or two ingredients such as
biotin or methionine, which are currently being marketed
individually.
Farrier's Formula is the only supplement for dermal tissues
that has scientific research to prove its performance.
Farrier's Formula was developed as a result often years of
nutritional research with horses. The test subjects were
found to be deficient in one or more of the nutrients in
Farrier's Formula. Life Data Labs, Inc. then developed the
balanced nutritional supplement Farrier's Formula
Due to the volume of the natural nutrients involved, it
is important to feed the recommended daily amount in order
that the horse receives all the daily required nutrients.
Feed 170 grams (one cup) per 450kg (1000 lbs) horse per day
until the desired results are obtained. Then the horse can
be maintained on half that quantity, or 85 grams (1/2 cup)
per 450kg. A 1Okg pail will last a 450kg horse about two
months, at the treatment level, and about four months at the
maintenance level.
You can expect to see improvement in the skin and hair in
two to four weeks, with a deeper more richly colored coat.
You can expect to see a new band of thicker, denser hoof
growth in four to six weeks, although in horses with very
poor quality feet, you may notice an improvement in as
little as two weeks. Your horse will have stronger, thicker
hoof walls that will hold shoes with more ease and thicker
soles that will not bruise easily.
If you have a horse with poor quality feet it is very
important to stop feeding wheat bran. Bran will physically
bind the calcium in a horses intestine and prevent it from
being absorbed into the horse's system. An adult horse will
usually have enough calcium in its diet to maintain a
healthy hoof, but bran can deplete body stores of calcium by
chemically binding calcium from the intestinal secretions,
thereby preventing it from being re-absorbed.
Palatability is about 99%, with very few horses having a
problem with the taste. If palatability problem occurs, this
can be overcome by adding a very small amount of Farrier's
Formula to the diet for the first week or so, and then
gradually increasing the amount until the horse is receiving
the recommended daily amount.
The developer of Farrier's Formula, Frank Gravlee, DVM,
MS, has a background in equine medicine. Dr. Gravlee
graduated from Auburn University School of Veterinary
Medicine and practiced veterinary medicine several years
before attending graduate school at MIT. During a three year
residency in nutritional pathology he received a masters
degree in nutritional biochemistry and intermediary
metabolism. Prior to the formation of Life Data Labs, Inc.
he spent six years in the field of nutritional and clinical
pathology.
