Laminitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the internal hoof structures and is one of the most common and serious hoof health problems, particularly in high-yield dairy cattle. If not properly managed, it can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and significant productivity losses.

Causes and Risk Factors

Laminitis develops as a result of multiple contributing factors, including metabolic disorders such as rumen acidosis, inadequate housing conditions, and nutritional imbalances. Deficiencies in trace minerals such as copper, sulfur, and zinc are closely associated with impaired hoof health.

These micronutrients play a critical role in hoof tissue formation and overall metabolic functions. In cases of deficiency, hoof structure weakens, increasing susceptibility to inflammation and tissue damage.

Nutritional Support Strategies

Proper nutrition is a key factor in the prevention and management of laminitis. Targeted feed additives, used alongside balanced rations and effective herd health practices, can help reduce risk and support hoof integrity.

Omega Promix

Formulated for ruminants, Omega Promix contains a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals, and proteins that support daily nutritional requirements. It helps address micronutrient deficiencies, supports hoof health, and reduces metabolic stress.

Omega Biotin Plus

Developed for professional livestock operations and on-farm feed formulations, Omega Biotin Plus contains biotin along with selected vitamins and minerals that support hoof strength and tissue integrity. By enhancing horn quality and metabolic balance, it contributes to reducing the risk of nutrition-related laminitis.
