Kelp contains micro and macro nutrients and the full range of amino acids. Of the seaweeds, Ecklonia maxima has the highest concentration of plant growth stimuli which makes this plant so beneficial. The natural hormones are readily available in the fronds and are easily taken up by land plants. The growth hormones, namely auxins and cytokinin’s are present.

Seaweed Ecklonia maxima contains micro and macro nutrients and the full range of amino acids which is vital for animals when added to the feed.
Kelp meal / flakes has been used throughout the world for centuries as a rich source of natural organic minerals and vitamins. It contains over 60 minerals and trace elements; more than 12 vitamins including E, A, C, B12, thiamine, and 21 amino acids. It is particularly rich in the trace element iodine and the anti-sterility vitamin tocopherol. A natural feed supplement that raises levels of product and performance, kelp increases appetite, improves digestion and promotes a healthy coat. Modern intensive farming practices have resulted in soils deficient in trace elements and micro nutrients, as reflected in the low nutritional content of grasses and grains grown on the soils and in the health of the animals maintained on these crops. While too little of certain trace elements produces deficient symptoms, too much can also be toxic. This can be avoided by using kelp as the source because it provides trace elements in a naturally chelated form. Seed 2 Harvest kelp flakes is the most economical way to provide chickens with a naturally balanced chelated mineral and vitamin supplement which satisfies the need for trace elements low or lacking in mixed feeds, pasture and other forages.
Mix granules with daily food as follows:
Our kelp granules are generally blended at a rate of 1 – 5% of regular feed ration
.
Poultry – Up to 1% of total feed mix.
Turkeys – Up to 2% of total feed mix.

It is well known that the animal’s body can tolerate higher concentrations of “organic” minerals and vitamins than “inorganic”. The fact that low concentrations of “organic” elements are just as effective as high concentrations of “inorganic” elements means that the animal’s needs can be satisfied with kelp without the danger of poisoning, or of making other elements unavailable.
Kelp is safe and effective for pregnant and lactating mares at the recommended feeding levels
Introduce kelp gradually, using 1 tsp. the first week, 2 tsp. the second week and so on. Sprinkle granular kelp evenly into feed. If using all dry feed, then you should mix the kelp with sugar water so it will adhere to food. Water activates the kelp so it must be consumed within 24 hours.

• Show, Performance and Racing: Mix 42g in daily ration
• Pregnant or Lactating Mares: Mix 42g in daily ration
• Studs: Mix 42g in daily ration
• Colts and Ponies: Mix 14g in daily ration
Keep container tightly sealed and away from heat.
Many of the trace minerals contained in kelp act as building blocks of a wide range of enzymes, which maintain the proper functioning of all the body’s vital systems. This enzymatic action of kelp helps to extract the maximum nourishment from the dog’s foods and to digest them completely, greatly enhancing your dog’s food utilization.
The minerals in kelp are present in a naturally organic chelated form, which makes them more readily available for digestion and assimilation. Chelated minerals maintain the required mineral balance during stress, heavy activity and prevent unnecessary deficiencies.
Kelp ensures better condition of skin and coat of your dog. Decreases shedding and improves digestion and overall health of your dog.

One characteristic of kelp as an animal feed is the fact that kelp modifies the intestinal flora or bacteria of livestock may be the chief cause for the results obtained. When used as a livestock feed additive, kelp increases production and improves performance. It strengthens appetite and enhances digestion. It promotes healthy fur, coats and plumage, and helps to regulate animal heat cycles, increases the number and durability of sperm. improves conception rates, and increases the percentage of normal healthy births.
In general, kelp improves the overall health of the animals. After adding kelp to poultry feed you can expect brighter plumage, increased weight gain and enhanced general alertness. There will be a marked increase in iodine content in eggs. The yolks will be a deeper colour, with better pigmentation, improved hatchability, reduction of blood spots, reduced incidence of coccidiosis, less egg breakage and stronger shells. Your poultry will display better feed conversion and improved overall health, with fewer diseases.
As a chicken feed supplement, add kelp meal at a rate of one to two percent of total grain rations. Feed at the higher rate when your stock is under stress, due to travel, disease, weather, reproduction or weaning.
