Conditions such as chronic laminitis, cracked hooves, or dry, brittle feet incapable of holding shoes are a common and time-consuming problem for owners, trainers, farriers, and veterinarians.
Gelatin collagen improves hooves and coat; helps repair damaged cartilage, helps with joint problems, reduces stiffness, and will assist with wound repair. Feeding a gelatin supplement to horses limits potential damage and supports natural repair mechanisms brought about by natural wear and tear or stress-related injury. The proteins and amino acids necessary for the proper nutrition of joints, cartilage, tendons, and tendon sheaths are not always present in adequate amounts in normal feeds. Gelatin helps to prevent and alleviate degenerative symptoms of arthritis and non-infectious joint complaints. Poor quality protein is an issue that commonly affects horses in training. These horses will benefit from extra high-quality protein supplement such as gelatine.
