Biotin is Vitamin H. My sheep were laying around and acting like they had sore feet this summer. When I checked their hooves, they felt soft in the middle. I added Biotin to some supplement feed, and they were OK within 2 days. I add it regularly to some feed for treats now... SKY H is one of the products. Clovite also has it in it... It is a horse supplement too...
