Abstrakt: The article presents a study on the impacts of biotin supplementation administered orally to the development of the claw horn structure of the young Girolando cattle. The study used twelve one-year old Girolando cattle designated to obtain the control treatment or diluted powdered biotin for 40 days. The study showed that the cattle group treated with biotin exhibited higher hoof growth than the controlled group. The study supported the positive effects of supplementing biotin for hoof growth.
