    TLDR Biotin is important for goat skin and hair health.
    The document discussed the role of biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, in the metabolism of pre-ruminant and immediately post-ruminant goats. It highlighted that biotin deficiency was often linked to skin lesions and poor hair growth. The study emphasized the need to better understand the dietary supply of biotin in pre-ruminant animals and the role of microorganisms in the digestive tract, particularly after rumen development, in providing biotin.
