Global Herbs Seaweed - 1.5kg

It is often fed to maintain normal hoof health and support the skin due to its high iodine content. Our seaweed is sourced from Uist on the Western Isles of Scotland and contains no additives or bulking agents, ensuring your horse receives optimal levels of iodine and trace elements.

Benefits of Seaweed for Horses:

• High concentration of iodine
• Source of vitamins

Feeding Rate:

• 250kg Pony: 2-3 x 25ml level scoops per day

• 650kg Horse: 6.5-7.5 x 25ml level scoops per day

Safety Information:

• Could a seaweed supplement cause iodine toxicity? Potentially, but only if the horse consumes significant quantities. Always follow the recommended dosage for your horse's weight.
• Is seaweed safe for horses? Yes, if dosage instructions are followed and the horse is in good health.
