Re: [blackbelly] Vitamin H/Biotin

[Cecil Bearden]

Yes I broke it down from the horse dosage.  I also read that there is really 
no sode effect from too much, so I made sure they got "enough".  In the 
container there is a small measuring cup, about  2 oz .  I put 5 of these to 
a 1 1/2 Gal. jar of mineral and this is fed to 50 sheep.  The directions 
advise 2 measures per horse per day.  If  I figured 1000 lbs per horse, then 
this would be adequate for 15 sheep.  It is so inexact that I just add what 
I think they will eat soon before the mineral gets stale.....  My ewe that 
had the sore feet was losing weight and is not gaining.   I am not sure it 
is due directly to the biotin, or the freedom of pain.

Cecil, when you gave the additive of Biotin (Sky Hi H) how much did you 
feed your sheep?  Did you have to break it down from the horse dosage? 
Thanks,  Sue Smith
