It promotes shiny coat, supple skin, better growth rates and reproductive performance, purges heavy metals, increases milk yields, more efficient feed utilization, better glandular health, pigmentation, boosts immune system, etc. There are numerous health benefits for people, pets, plants, and animals.
Icelandic kelp provides excellent health benefits for yards, plants, pastures, trees, crops, and gardens, too. Icelandic kelp meal is fabulous in the garden to increase crop yields, drought resistance, frost protection, and stress recovery.
WHERE DOES ICELANDIC KELP COME FROM & HOW IS IT HARVESTED?
Icelandic kelp is produced in a pristine environment close to the Arctic Circle. Icelandicd kelp is geothermically dried under low temperatures that keep the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes intact.
Icelandic kelp is carefully selected and harvested the finest sea vegetation from around the world. Icelandic Kelp is harvested from Northwest Iceland on the edge of the Artic Circle. These kelps beds were chosen for their nutrient content, clean growing site and sustainability of harvest. The cold, clean waters of this area offer the perfect conditions for growing. Icelandic Kelp is dried near the harvest site, so the kelp does not lose any of the nutrients in transport. The kelp is geothermically dried at low temperatures to protect the minerals, vitamins and beneficial phytonutrients.

We keep Icelandic kelp meal out free choice for all the livestock: goats, llamas, and poultry. Additionally, we keep it in their daily organic herb/grain/seed mix.

DAILY ICELANDIC KELP RECOMMENDED FEEDING RATES FOR PETS, & LIVESTOCK
Some animals may consume more than the others, which is why we feed it free choice to the livestock and in their daily herb/grain/seed mix. Since all beings are different and some require more mineralization than others, due to their current health status, free choice feeding allows them to consume what they need, when they feel they need it. We do feed Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth and Redmond Natural Trace Mineral Salt free choice to our livestock as well and we find that they consume the Thorvin Kelp more quickly than the other natural mineral supplements.

Free-choice Feeding:
Cattle, sheep and goats tend to self-regulate free-choice consumption of kelp to levels consistent with recommended rates. In some cases, animals will consume larger than normal quantities, but this binge typically only lasts 30-60 days, depending on the animal's mineral status. If higher consumption continues beyond 60 days, mix Icelandic kelp meal with salt, one-to-one, to reduce intake, and consult your nutritionist. When feeding Icelandic kelp free-choice, provide one covered mineral feeder for every 25-30 cows and every 40-50 sheep or goats. Also make sure animals have access to salt and clean water.
KELP AS FERTILIZER
As our soil erodes and is washed into the sea, kelp feeds on the dissolved minerals. Worked into the soil, dried kelp returns depleted minerals to the land, improving texture and fertility. Icelandic kelp's 100% natural organic fertilizer is a non-burning mineralizer. Applied year round to vegetables, ornamentals, and trees it provides excellent vital nutrients our plants need. We use it mixed in water when transplanting as well. The fertilizer ratio of Thorvin Kelp is 1-0-2.
