Acadian Kelp Meal
Kelp has been fed to horses for hundreds of years as one of the key sources of essential nutrients.
Acadian Kelp (also known as Norwegian Kelp) is 100% organic, comes from mineral rich seas, and the horses love it. Give this to your horses alongside the Dynamin 12 Premium mineral pre-mix, and you have the perfect combination for their nutritional needs.
Why use Acadian Kelp for Your Horses?
Modern intensive farming practices have resulted in soils with deficiencies that are reflected in the low nutritional content of grasses and grans grown on these soils, and in the health of the animals raised and maintained on these crops. Lush and otherwise nutritious grasses may fail to supply the needs of your horses because certain trace elements are missing. Horses have finely balanced needs for trace elements: too little produces deficiency symptoms, too much may be toxic.
Acadian Kelp Meal (Ascophyllum nodosum), also known as Norwegian Kelp , Common Wrack or Rockweed. Norwegian Kelp is a brown seaweed which grows along the North Atlantic shorelines of Canada and Europe. Acadian Kelp is harvested off the cold, clean nutrient-rich coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is harvested under rigorous quality control standards to preserve the maximum benefits of the live seaweed. After harvest it is then ground or milled to various mesh sizes for specific feeding requirements.
This form of Kelp has been used for centuries as a natural source feed supplement, and is a chief source of nutrients for horses, providing over 60 minerals and elements, more than 12 vitamins, including carotene, tocopherol and folic acid; valuable carbohydrates including Alginic acid, Laminarin and Mannitol, as well as a full range of amino acids.
Benefits of Kelp Meal: Used as a regular feed supplement Norwegian Kelp helps increase the utilization of all the ingredients in the complete feed ration, improving the overall health and performance of horses.
