Hi looking for some advice on biotin for sheep ,
Vet has requested  I use sheep nuts with biotin in ,but they have to be ram friendly as well?
Is there a better way of providing biotin and what amounts we talking
4 sheep 2 need biotin other two won’t hurt but not necessary
They have add lib mineral licks and rock salt all year round already
Any advice appreciated
Ta

Don't know about sheep so you may need to check ingredients and with vet, but for horses, I used to use a product called BioMethZ - I think it's been renamed now but can't think what the new name is and Google isn't helping me.  It was a combination of biotin, methionine and zinc which were the 3 ingredients required for proper hoof growth.  Another alternative may be Cornucrescine hoof supplement.  However, you may need to be careful depending on where you are and what sheep you have as it does contain copper so check with vet before feeding it!    http://www.carrdaymartin.co.uk/product/hoof-supplement/

Yes ta
loads of it about for horses , but too risky with any copper in it and your right google not my friend for biotin for sheep

Mole Valley Feet and Fertility buckets have biotin in, but I don't think they are suitable for rams.
