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
