Thorvin kelp is an excellent source of naturally chelated macro and micro minerals, vitamins, and amino acids. Thorvin kelp provides many health benefits for people, pets, and livestock. 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.

Thorvin kelp provides excellent health benefits for yards, plants, pastures, trees, crops, and gardens too. Thorvin kelp meal is fabulous in the garden to increase crop yields, drought resistance, frost protection, and stress recovery.

WHERE DOES THORVIN KELP COME FROM & HOW IS IT HARVESTED?
Thorvin kelp is produced in a pristine environment close to the Arctic Circle. The fresh harvest is immediately brought to a dryer, near the harvest area, so no nutrients are lost in transport. Thorvin kelp is dried under low temperatures that keep the vitamins, minerals, and enzymes intact. And the dryer is powered by geothermal hot water, a renewable resource.

Thorvin Icelandic Geothermal Kelp ingredients have earned the highest designation conferred by the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) – Certified 100% Organic, since the NOP’s inception in 2002. Independent inspection verifies that Thorvin meet organic production standards as a wild crop harvest, which includes sustainable harvesting and protection of biodiversity. Additionally, Thorvin's organic certification covers product handling and process, from drying to blending.

Thorvin products are also Kosher, the gold standard for cleanliness. And Thorvin agricultural products are OMRI Listed for organic production.

Thorvin maintains a robust testing program, continually raising the bar on quality control as new analytical methods are available. Thorvin kelp is inspected and certified organic by the Icelandic Certification Agency TUN. Thorvin is inspected by QAI (Quality Assurance International), a U.S. reciprocating organization. Thorvin is the ONLY kelp meal currently OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) listed for livestock feed.

Pure ocean marine algae seaweed from the world's cleanest and richest sea waters, Thorvin kelp contains 60 minerals, natural vitamins and other health factors. Thorvin icelandic kelp is 100% organic and complies with the USDA NOP organic feed requirements. Thorvin is the highest quality kelp available. We have tried and compared Norwegian and Acadian kelp meals and neither contain the high percentages of vitamins, minerals, micro nutrients, and amino acid that Thorvin kelp does.

We keep Thorvin 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. We feed Thorvin kelp in our cats and dogs raw food. We also use it extensively on our acreage for fertilizing ALL the trees, plants, herbs, ground covers; when transplanting; and in the compost piles.

THORVIN BENEFITS FOR ANIMALS
Thorvin for Animals is the leading organic feed supplement, contributing to lower vet bills and helping to keep livestock at their healthy best.

Enhances Performance – Promotes breed back (selenium & zinc) and weight gain.
Supports Animal Health – Contains nutrients critical for minimizing foot rot (zinc & iodine) and pinkeye (copper & selenium).
Economical – Only takes small amounts to help fill micronutrient deficiencies – for just pennies a day.
High Nutrient Value Per Pound – Delivers more iodine and lower moisture per pound.
Concentrated Source – Proprietary processing locks in nutrients and delivers concentrated mineral source.
Versatile – Mix in feed at 2% of dry ration, or feed free choice – alone or with salt.

DAILY THORVIN KELP RECOMMENDED FEEDING RATES FOR PETS & LIVESTOCK

Cats - 1/4 teaspoon
Dogs (small) - 1/2 teaspoon
Dogs (large) - 1 teaspoon
Dairy & Beef Cattle - 2 to 4 ounces
Chickens/Poultry - 1 to 2% of feed ration
Goats & Sheep - 1/2 ounce
Horses - 1/2 to 1 ounce
Not recommended for rabbits

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.

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. Thorvin'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.
