Hygeia has partnered with Sealac Seaweed Nutrition to broaden access to Sealac’s premium concentrated seaweed products across Ireland. Sealac, a family-run company established in 2016 and based in Kiltimagh, Co Mayo, specialises in harvesting and processing Atlantic seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) to create a unique range of concentrated seaweed feeds for animal nutrition.
This new distribution partnership allows each company to focus on what they do best. Sealac will continue producing superconcentrated seaweed powders, as well as working on expanding their innovative animal nutrition range. Hygeia, in turn, will utilise its established nationwide distribution network to bring the Sealac range to a wider audience, making these high-quality products more accessible to farmers throughout the country.
Sealac is an expert in producing unique, super-concentrated seaweed powders, using a highly specialised drying process that has been refined over several years at its dedicated facility in Co Mayo. These powders are saturated with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants and bioactive compounds, present in significantly higher concentrations per gram than in standard seaweed powders on the market. Extensive research into the benefits of feeding Ascophyllum nodosum to animals has shown that these natural compounds act as prebiotics and support digestion, coat condition, immune function, reduce methane emissions and overall animal health.
Sealac focuses on delivering targeted, seaweed-based nutrition to support animals from day one through to maturity. Its supplements are designed to fit into any farming system, enhancing health, performance and development.
The partnership between Hygeia and Sealac Seaweed Nutrition strengthens the supply chain of sustainable animal feed, supporting farmers and livestock health across Ireland.
