AgriSea for Sheep and Lambs
Seaweed-based nutrition designed to support stronger lambs, healthier ewes and more resilient sheep systems from conception through to finishing.
AgriSea has been helping New Zealand sheep farmers achieve measurable improvements in lamb growth, ewe recovery and overall performance for decades. Our proven formulations support every stage of production, from pre-mating and pregnancy through to weaning and finishing – discover exactly what AgriSea can do for your flock.
Sheep farms face ongoing pressure – fluctuating pasture quality, metabolic stress during pregnancy and lactation, parasite burden, and the demand for rapid, efficient growth in young stock. Many production challenges can be traced back to nutritional imbalances affecting rumen function, immunity 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 trace elements, amino acids, vitamins and natural growth compounds that support rumen efficiency, immune resilience and metabolic stability. The result is healthier ewes, stronger lambs and more consistent production and on-farm performance.
Whether you're managing a commercial sheep flock, finishing lambs, or focusing on wool production, AgriSea offers targeted nutritional support backed by research, proven in practice, and trusted by leading farmers across New Zealand.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about using AgriSea with sheep and lambs
How does AgriSea benefit sheep and lambs?
AgriSea provides natural seaweed nutrition that enhances immune function, improves gut health, supports reproductive performance, and promotes overall flock vitality. The bioactive compounds in seaweed support lamb growth, wool production, and ewe fertility. For lambs, AgriSea supports rapid healthy growth, stronger immune systems, and better feed conversion efficiency.
When should I start supplementing lambs with AgriSea?
AgriSea can be introduced to lambs through the ewe during pregnancy and lactation, or directly to lambs from early life. Many farmers supplement ewes pre-lambing to improve colostrum quality and lamb vigour at birth. Continue supplementation through lamb growth phases to support development, health and performance.
Will AgriSea help improve wool quality?
Yes, many sheep farmers report improved wool quality including better fleece weight, fiber strength, and overall wool characteristics. The comprehensive mineral and trace element profile in seaweed supports optimal wool growth and quality. Better animal health and nutrition directly translates to improved wool production.
Can AgriSea reduce the need for drenching?
While AgriSea is not a drench replacement, many farmers find that supplemented sheep show improved resistance to internal parasites and require less frequent drenching. The improved gut health and immune function support the animal's natural defenses against parasites. Always follow recommended parasite management protocols for your region.
