Seaweed, a treasure trove of nutrients, offers remarkable benefits for
both humans and cattle. Our selection includes three distinct types:
Brown Seaweed, Codium and Ulva. Each variety is harvested from pristine
coastal waters, ensuring the highest quality and nutrient content.
Seabuff
Seabuff is an organic rumen buffer that maintains ruminal pH,
prevents S.A.R.A., and improves fiber digestion and rumen efficiency. It
increases total VFAs, especially propionate, and provides bioavailable
minerals and bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and
antimicrobial properties.
Key Benefits for Animal Health:
- Maintains Ruminal pH: pH > 6 for 18 hours, pH > 5.9 for 24 hours.
- Improves Fiber Digestion: Supports nutrient absorption.
- Increases VFA Production: Boosts energy metabolism and propionate levels.
- Bioactive Compounds: Fucoxanthin, laminarin, polyphenols, and phlorotannins reduce inflammation, promote healing, and increase milk fat percentage.
- Supplies Essential Minerals: Macro-minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Sulfur) and Micro-minerals (Copper, Iodine, Zinc, Selenium, Iron).
Animal Benefits:
- Boosts Immune System: Enhances milk yield and overall animal health.
- Reduces Need for Medication: Improves health and neutralizes digestive acids, reducing metabolic disorders.
Brown Seaweed
Benefits for Cattle:
- Improved Digestion: The high fiber content supports a healthy digestive system.
- Nutrient Absorption: Aids in the absorption of essential nutrients, promoting growth and health.
- Immune System Support: The antioxidants and vitamins strengthen the immune system, reducing the risk of disease.
Locations Found:
- Coastal Areas: Brown Seaweed thrives along the coastlines, particularly in rocky and shallow waters.
Codium
Benefits for Humans:
- Skin Brightening: Reduces melanin synthesis, improving skin brightness and tone.
- Atherosclerosis Prevention: Siphonaxanthin helps reduce atherosclerotic plaque formation and inflammation.
- Weight Management: Sulfated polysaccharides provide anti-obesity effects by reducing fat accumulation.
Benefits for Health and Cosmetics:
- Anti-Aging Properties: Contains bioactive compounds like Fucoxanthin and Laminarin that support anti-inflammatory and skin-healing functions.
- Skin Whitening: Clinical trials show Codium fragile can be a natural whitening agent by reducing melanin in skin cells.
- Antiangiogenic Activity: Supports the control of abnormal cell growth by inhibiting blood vessel formation.
Locations Found:
- Pakistan’s Coastal Waters: Newly harvested in 2023 from Pakistan's coastline, adding to its availability.
- Spain & Portugal: Traditionally sourced from the coasts of Spain and Portugal, but now sustainably harvested in Pakistan.
Ulva
Benefits for Cattle:
- Nutrient-Rich Feed: Ulva is packed with essential minerals like iodine, calcium, and magnesium, promoting overall cattle health.
- Digestive Health: Its polysaccharides improve gut health, enhancing nutrient absorption and digestion.
- Immune Boosting: Rich in antioxidants, Ulva helps boost the immunity of livestock.
Locations Found:
- Pakistan Coastal Waters: Recently harvested from Pakistan’s coastal regions, Ulva is also traditionally found in Europe.
- Europe and North America: Commonly found along coastal regions, including Spain, Portugal, and the U.S.
Spathoglossum (Brown Seaweed) & Hypnea (Red Seaweed)
Benefits for Cattle:
- Fertility Booster: Naturally rich in iodine,
zinc, and vitamin E — key elements that support hormone balance and
reproductive health in both cows and bulls. - Nutrient-Rich Feed: Packed with essential minerals like sodium, calcium, and magnesium to enhance bone strength, hydration, and overall vitality.
- Milk Production Enhancer: Zinc and vitamin E improve udder health and enzyme function, supporting increased and better-quality milk output.
- Digestive Health: High fiber and ash content act as a natural buffer, promoting rumen stability and preventing acidosis.
- Methane Reduction: Bioactives in Hypnea (a red seaweed) help reduce enteric methane emissions, improving feed efficiency and environmental impact.
- Immune Support: Seaweed’s antioxidant profile strengthens the immune system, reducing disease risk and boosting cattle resilience.
- Natural Salt Replacement: With high natural sodium and salt levels, seaweed enhances palatability and can reduce the need for synthetic mineral licks.
Locations Found:
- Pakistan’s Coastal Waters: Wild-harvested from clean, mineral-rich waters along the coastline of Sindh.
Kelp (Laminaria spp.)
Benefits for Humans:
- Supports Thyroid Health: Rich in iodine, kelp helps regulate thyroid function, essential for metabolism and hormonal balance.
- Antioxidant Properties: Contains fucoidan and other antioxidants that reduce inflammation and protect against diseases like cancer.
- Weight Management: Fucoxanthin in kelp aids in fat reduction and helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Benefits for Cattle:
- Nutrient-Rich Feed: Kelp provides essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iodine, which boost overall cattle health.
- Improved Digestion: The polysaccharides in kelp improve gut health and nutrient absorption, making it an excellent addition to livestock feed.
- Immune Support: Rich in antioxidants, kelp enhances the immune system, reducing the risk of diseases in cattle.
Locations Found:
- Cold Waters: Laminaria species are typically
found in cold, nutrient-rich waters along the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts, including Northern Europe, North America, and now being
sustainably harvested in Pakistan.
