Provitamin A
Provitamin A
The external application of provitamin A, also known as beta-carotene, to horse hooves has proven to be extremely beneficial for the health and well-being of the animals. This fat-soluble antioxidant plays a crucial role in promoting hoof growth and improving horn quality. Through its antioxidant effect, provitamin A protects the hoof cells from harmful free radicals that can be caused by environmental stress. It also regulates the moisture balance in the hooves, which helps prevent dry and brittle hooves. External application not only strengthens the hoof's "immune system", but also supports the formation of keratin, the main component of hoof horn.
