“Sea water minerals with lithothamnium and bentonite clays”
Intensive breeding and the foodstuffs derived from it mean that many food products now lack the necessary nutritional qualities: fewer minerals and trace elements, more carbohydrates. This leads to products containing fewer polyunsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3, proven to be beneficial to cardio-vascular health. Animal feed therefore needs to be enriched, not only to improve animal well-being, but also for better food quality. Growing consumer demand for quality products, linked to food scares and to the food processing industry’s increasing interest in promoting “natural” products, all point to the need for a balanced animal diet.
Tanguy Legavre offers three main product ranges for animal nutrition and health: Algaliment, specializing in mineral- and marine trace element-based feed, Dietinov for nutrition and health products, based on Omega 3-rich fish oils, or Omega 6-rich linseed oils and Hippodif, offering sea water therapy for eventing horses with sea muds and active marine ingredients derived from sea water and algae.
