Albrecht was exploring why animals in some areas did well while others did poorly. What he found is something that the USDA and land grant colleges that derive much of their funding from corporate agriculture has been trying to bury for years. Albrecht proved that poorly mineralized soils were the root of many diseases in animals, including we have to presume, humans. Soil testing and providing a wide array of nutrients, not just NPK, is a standard practice with most small scale organic growers today. This is the food people drive over an hour to get, pay high prices for, and shop in inconvenient outdoor locations. The concept of feeding the soil that feeds the plants, as opposed to feeding plants a few of the nutrients they need directly in the form of mineral salts, is all based on Albrecht's work.

animal health and soil go hand in hand. if you want your animals healthier, less sick and overall better. get this book and it will tell you how to do these things. any books by albrecht and turner will open your eyes to the old way of soil fertility, which will cost you less in the long run. permaculture is the way to go. as a past farmer/rancher using chemicals on the soil and animals this book will show you how to convert over to not using chemicals.
