SeaAgri 90 Sea Minerals

Earth salts were subjected to geologic pressure and moisture that leach away elements and concentrated others. Typical earth salts are typically red or pink in color indicating high levels of Iron. Charles Walters, ACRES USA, explained that feeding this type of salt to livestock feed programs by producers with high iron in their soil/forage or water can cause animal health issues for livestock. Feeding red mineral salts to livestock foraging on hay or drinking water with a high iron content causes iron toxicities and blocks the uptake of other important minerals and trace elements. He believed that Michigan’s problems with bovine tuberculosis could be due to a misdiagnosis and was actually iron toxicity.

In addition many livestock producers offer inexpensive white salt created from either sea water or mined from the earth. Typically white in color, this salt contains 97-99% NaCl and only one to three percent other minerals and trace elements. Livestock also ingest greater quantities of both the white and red colored salts than SEA-90 Essential Elements because these salts are less water soluble and lower in minerals and trace elements. SeaAgri believes high quality sea mineral salt or solids must be created from fresh sea water on an annual basis.

To be called SEA-90 Essential Elements or sea mineral solids as defined by Dr. Murray, sea salt cannot be touched by rain or leached of any minerals and trace elements, and contain no more than 82-85 percent sodium chloride (NaCl) with balanced mineral and trace elements in the remaining 15-17 percent.
