I had intended to try some of the Thorivin Kelp last year but due to some issue with supply I put it off. Seems like it is available now.
I am assuming that the Thorivin Kelp sold for animal feed supply is, to all intents and purposes, identical with that sold for human consumption, excluding price. Therefore, I ordered an 8 pound bag from Hoegger Goat Supply for $11.95 plus $8.15 for a total of $20.45. That's about $2.50 a pound, a fair price... http://www.hoeggergoatsupply.com/xcart/product.php?productid=3484 "Helps regulate metabolism, enhance feed utilization, improves breeding problems and overall milk production. Food grade Thorvin Kelp is a rich source of iodine, nutrients, amino acids, and vitamins. Produced under low temperature drying ensures the proper moisture levels for vitamin and amino acid stability and complete digestion and assimilation. Economical to use - 1 to 2% of the feed ration costs pennies a day. Also recommended as a great dietary supplement for ALL your animals, including cats and dogs.
