Biotin - getting horsey to eat it!

[SDH]

Help
My horse is on 6 months turn-away cos of injury. As a result I don't give much hard feed - just a handful of chaff and some biotin - he has rubbish feet without the biotin.

Normally buy Naff Biotin. But STUPIDLY i purchased a cheaper brand the other day as tack/feed shop told me it was the same stuff but i'm not paying for the 'Naff' brand name.

Horsey won't eat new stuff. I have never known him to be fussy with food before!
How do I pursuade him to eat it? Could up his feed a bit (it attempt to disguise it) but not too much!

jam sandwich! Thats how I feed anitbiotics! Or core out an apple and stuff it inside! Mix it with golden syrup... There are lots of things to try, its just finding the one that suits your horse.

Try a drop of molasses?

Log onto the Robinsons website.

You can buy a 1kg tub of dried crushed spearmint for about two quid - I chuck it in my lad's tea as he has Pernamax tablets crushed into it and they stink of fish - without the mint he won't touch it but he absolutely wolfs it down!

Best stuff I ever bought!!

Mint for my fussy boy. Works for everything, wormer / antibiotics. It also makes his breath smell nice.

Tesco own brand cheapo apple juice - on almost permanent BOGOF - and put a splash in his feed on top of the dreaded Biotin. Betcha he'll wolf it down!
