toe regrowth

[15444]

When we pulled our mature bulls and put them together, they began fighting and after about half an hour, one of the bulls broke the whole nail of one toe off. The bull bled quite alot but we finally got the bleeding stopped and put disinfectant along with cloth wrapped around the injured foot. Our nieghbour told us the nail will grow back in time (about 6 months). I'm just wondering if anybody knows of anything that we can feed the bull to increase the rate of growth of the toe nail. I really want to make sure that this bull is ready for action again by the end of April next year.

Horse people swear by supplements containing high levels of biotin to promote hoof growth, and healthy hooves. The important thing is that there has been no damage to the coronet band..that's the area right at the top of the hoof where it joins the foot. This is where the growth will come from.
