Horses need zinc, in combination with copper and manganese, in bioavailable forms, along with adequate high quality protein and biotin, for strong hooves. The ideal ratio is approximately 1 part copper: 4 parts zinc: 4 parts manganese. Many feedstuffs are exceptionally nutritionally deficient and unbalanced, resulting in cracked hooves and thrush (a hoof infection), among other problems.

Silicon (Si) assists plants during stressful times. It helps prevent powdery mildew and strengthens cell walls against insect attacks. While soils contain a large amount of silicon, it is often unavailable to the plants. Beneficial soil fungi help make it available, so we must care for these and other beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Supplying adequate boron and balancing the other elements needed in the soil will also help make silicon available to the plants. Hugh Lovel, of Biodynamics fame, asserts that boron activates silicon which then carries all other nutrients within the plant sap, starting with calcium.
