AgriSea for Horses and Foals

Seaweed-based nutrition designed to support healthier horses, stronger foals and more resilient equine systems from breeding through to peak performance.

AgriSea's seaweed-based nutrition products have been supporting New Zealand horse owners, studs and trainers for decades. Our proven formulations strengthen every stage of equine development, from fertility and foal growth through to training, recovery and competition.

Horses face ongoing nutritional pressures such as fluctuating pasture quality, metabolic stress during training, travel and breeding, and the demands of peak athletic performance. Many common health issues stem from underlying mineral imbalances affecting immunity, gut health, hoof integrity and reproductive performance.

AgriSea provides comprehensive nutritional support using sustainably harvested New Zealand brown kelp seaweed (Ecklonia radiata), processed using our proprietary cold-brewing fermentation technology to preserve vital nutrients and bioactive compounds.

Our seaweed extracts deliver bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids and trace elements that support metabolic balance, immune resilience and fertility, and promote calm behaviour. The result is healthier foals, stronger horses and more consistent performance on the track, in the arena and at stud.
