Boost Sheep Health, Fertility and Wool Quality with Seaperia

Grahame West

Supplementing your flock with Seaperia Meal or Seaperia Soluble Granules can dramatically improve overall health, fertility, and productivity. Ewes produce richer milk, lambs grow stronger, and rams become more fertile — supporting higher lambing rates over the years.

Over decades of use, farmers have observed that seaweed enhances coat and hair quality in all animals. For sheep, this translates into finer, stronger fleece, healthier hooves, nails, and even teeth — all indicators of optimal nutrition and a healthy gut.

No farm has perfect soil; mineral deficiencies are common, and these directly affect animal health and wool quality. A small quantity of Seaperia Meal per head provides a complete, balanced range of easily absorbed organic minerals. It also contains compounds like betaine, which help sheep cope with stress, such as extreme heat.

Seaweed supplementation reduces methane output by converting it in the gut into protein, the building block of fleece. It also makes the gut more aerobic, improving digestion and feed efficiency.

Norwegian Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed is widely recognised as the best in the world for both animal and crop use — a claim supported by farmers and scientific research. Picked fresh from the pristine Norwegian fjords, Seaperia Meal is delivered in 25kg bags as a fresh, green meal — you can still smell the sea. For supplementation via drinking troughs, Seaperia Soluble Granules come dry, avoiding unnecessary water, heavy plastic drums, and high transport costs.

Another natural benefit: your sheep help recycle nutrients back into the paddock, enhancing soil fertility and creating a natural cycle of health on your farm.

Thanks to Deni for the great photo of her sheep called Fancy Pants.
