Calmin

Feedworks USA is proud to be the Distributor for Celtic Sea Minerals, based out of Cork, Ireland. Celtic Sea Minerals specializes in the development, manufacture and marketing of natural animal feed, hygiene and fertilizer products based on calcareous marine algae. Celtic Sea Minerals harvests in two key locations: the original site off the south west coast of Ireland – which has been worked since 1991 – and a significant and plentiful new reserve in Arnarfjordur, a fiord in the north west of Iceland.
Calcarous Marine Algae
Calcareous marine algae is the collective term for several species of calcified red seaweed. Calcareous marine algae are very slow growing and can form extensive beds in favorable conditions, typically in relatively shallow and clear, unpolluted coastal waters where there is some tidal flow.
The live plant contains a pink pigment on its surface, which traps sunlight to provide energy for its growth. In time a dead, white calcareous skeleton develops which is rich in calcium and other minerals. It is only this dead material that is harvested from the seabed primarily for its significant value as an animal feed raw material.
