This is what the Thorvin company says about Thorvin Kelp for Animals:<\/span><\/h1>\n

<\/h1>\n

Animals Thrive on Thorvin\u00ae<\/sup><\/h1>\n

The most nutrient\u2010dense kelp animal supplement on the market, Thorvin is harvested from the cleanest kelp beds on earth, and then dried at controlled low temperatures using geothermal energy to concentrate its rich nutrient profile. Thorvin contains one\u2010third less moisture, 30% more iodine, and is the only kelp supplement with a guaranteed selenium claim. Whether you are a formulator or farmer, you get more nutrients per pound, and feed less. Thorvin makes good business sense!<\/p>\n

Naturally chelated, Thorvin is bioavailable and readily utilized; it only takes small amounts to deliver benefits to livestock at all stages of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

*1\/2 oz. = 1 Tbsp. and 2 oz. = 1\/4 cup
\n** Generally, mix no more than 1\/2 oz. with the amount of grain eaten per horse per day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Under certain stress conditions, higher rates may be appropriate, upon consultation with your veterinarian or nutritionist.<\/p>\n

Free\u2010choice Feeding<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Cattle, sheep and goats tend to self\u2010regulate free\u2010choice consumption of Thorvin to levels consistent with recommended rates. In some cases, animals will consume larger than normal quantities, but this binge typically only lasts 30\u201060 days, depending on the animal\u2019s mineral status. If higher consumption continues beyond 60 days, mix Thorvin with salt, one\u2010to\u2010one, to reduce intake, and consult your nutritionist. When feeding Thorvin free\u2010choice, provide one\u00a0covered mineral feeder*<\/em> for every 25\u201030 cows and every 40\u201050 sheep or goats. Also make sure animals have access to salt and clean water.<\/p>\n

* For cattle:<\/em> The classic blue Thorvin Mineral Feeder is 30 inches in diameter and 12 inches tall and weighs 40 lbs. The feeder has two compartments and holds 100 lbs. of Thorvin for Animals. The flap on top protects the contents and promotes longer usage. The unit can be anchored for additional security. For more info, contact Thorvin<\/a>.<\/p>\n
