KelpPlus: The Ultimate Bio-Available Ration Balancer
Patent-Pending
Nature’s Richest Minerals. Science-Backed Performance.
Elevate your animal’s health with Kelp Plus, a nutrient-dense top dress engineered for superior bioavailability. By combining the raw power of organic Atlantic kelp with our proprietary Hydrothermal Mineral Complex (HTMC), we’ve created a ration balancer that doesn't just fill gaps—it optimizes performance from the inside out.
Why Kelp Plus?
Most supplements pass right through the system. Kelp Plus is different. We use hydrothermal complexes and organic sea greens to ensure minerals are absorbed and utilized where they matter most: the thyroid, the joints, and the coat.
The Core Benefits
Metabolic Spark: High natural iodine levels support peak thyroid function and steady energy.
Joint & Muscle Recovery: HTMC silicates help ease inflammation and protect cartilage.
Digestive Buffer: Premium alfalfa meal acts as a natural shield against gastric ulcers and acidosis.
Show-Ready Condition: Expect a deeper coat bloom and stronger hoof integrity within weeks.

A Closer Look
1. Organic Ascophyllum nodosum Kelp
Sourced from pristine waters, our kelp provides over 60 trace minerals. It’s more than a supplement; it’s a bioactive boost that supports immune response and improves Body Condition Scores (BCS).
2. HTMC (Hydrothermal Mineral Complex)
Sourced from the US Sierra Mountains, this rare mineral composite acts as a natural anti-inflammatory. Its unique clay-like structure also aids in systemic detoxification, binding to toxins and flushing them safely from the gut.
3. The 50/50 Base Carrier (Alfalfa & Oats)
We don’t use "fillers." Our base consists of high-quality Alfalfa and Rolled Oats. This combination provides a slow-fermenting, safe energy source that is highly palatable even for the pickiest eaters.
Safety & Regulatory Compliance
AAFCO Approved: All ingredients are compliant with the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) standards for livestock nutrition.
Traceability: Every bag of Kelp Plus is stamped with a unique Batch ID. We can trace every ounce of kelp back to its specific harvest location in the North Atlantic.
Lab Verified: We conduct periodic wet-chemistry testing to confirm that vitamins A, E, and Iodine levels remain within the safe, optimal metabolic window

Frequently Asked Questions
How long before I see results?
Most owners report noticeable changes in joint mobility and energy within 2 to 8 weeks. Visual changes like coat pigmentation and "bloom" typically peak at the 8-week mark.
Is it safe for all livestock?
Yes, Kelp Plus is formulated for cattle, horses, sheep, and goats. However, it is not recommended for pregnant animals (especially mares and ewes) because the high iodine and mineral concentrations can negatively impact fetal development.
Can I feed it "free-choice"?
While it can be offered free-choice, it is most effective when top-dressed on a daily grain ration to ensure consistent intake of the HTMC joint complex.
Nutritional & Technical
Why is iodine so important?
Iodine is the core building block for thyroid hormones (T3 and T4), which regulate the animal's metabolism, growth, and body temperature.
Will it help with "hoof and horn" quality?
Yes. The bioavailable minerals—specifically zinc and iodine—are clinically linked to stronger hooves, harder horns, and a reduced incidence of foot rot.
What if my animal is a "picky eater"?
The Alfalfa Meal and Rolled Oats base are highly palatable. Many owners find that it actually helps mask the taste of other medications or supplements
Safety & Compliance
Is Kelp Plus legal for 4-H and FFA shows?
Yes. This supplement contains no synthetic stimulants or prohibited drugs (like Ractopamine). It is made from all-natural, whole-food ingredients.
Can my animal get too much iodine?
Yes. Both deficiency and excess can cause thyroid issues (goiter). Stick strictly to the recommended feeding rates and avoid other iodine-heavy sources like EDDI or heavily iodized salt blocks.
How should I store it?
Store in a cool, dry area between 32°F and 77°F. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent the alfalfa from losing its vitamin potency through oxidation.

Key Reminders
Measurement: One standard 8 oz measuring cup typically holds about 4–5 oz of pellets by weight; always weigh your feed for accuracy rather than measuring by volume.
Split Feedings: For larger amounts (over 2 lbs), it is best to divide the daily total into two separate feedings (morning and evening) to optimize digestion and mineral absorption.
Adjustment: These are starting points; if an animal loses or gains excessive weight, adjust the amount by roughly 10% and monitor for two weeks
When feeding Kelp Plus to pregnant or young animals, the primary safety consideration is managing iodine intake. While iodine is essential for development, excessive levels can be as harmful as a deficiency, particularly for developing fetuses.
