Animal Hair or Fur Analysis
Animal Hair or Fur Analysis
Two main reasons an animal will become ill are problems in it's
Diet or Enviroment
we often take for granted that the enviroment and foods we provide are adequate. Too many disorders and illnesses can be traced to a dietary mineral or vitamin deficiency and or enviromental conditions that expose them to toxic contaminants which accumulate in the tissues.
To all animals -minerals are essential
Like humans, animals eat not only to get the energy they need, but also to sup- port enzyme, muscle, hormonal, brain and other functions. Therefore, foods must provide "quality fuel" in the form of vitamins and minerals that will optimize health and growth. Essential minerals or macro elements are needed to sustain the life of your animal. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium phosphorus are needed for growth and to maintain healthy bone structure. The essential trace elements are needed in lesser. quantities, but are equally important. For instance, zinc deficiency retards growth, sexual development and hormonal function. It also causes skin and hair or fur problems. Hair mineral analysis identifies deficiencies long before your pet becomes seriously ill. Test results allow proper correction through mineral supplementation or dietary changes, improving animal health. Toxic Elements
Toxic elements are potentially present in food, water and the animal's environment. Long-term exposure to small amounts can result in tissue accumulation, which is rarely diagnosed through blood or urine analysis.
These chronic exposures to Toxic Elements can come from seemingly innocent places - food bowls, the air and even the paint on an old doghouse. Over time, toxic elements can accumulate in vital organs and bones of pets, displacing important essential elements. These imbalances inhibit metabolic functions, create organ stress and cause a variety of health problems. Visible signs of toxic element exposure may take some time to manifest; therefore, early detection is essential. Hair mineral analysis is an ideal test to identify the animal's toxic burden long before serious cell damage occurs. Hair Mineral Analysis For many years, physicians have recognized the benefits of Hair Mineral Analysis (H M A) in humans. Unknown to many, veterinarians and scientists have utilized HMA to identify toxic exposure or deficiencies in animals for decades. In fact. animal research provided the basis for understanding the importance of selenium and muscle function. Arsenic toxicities in farm animals have long been detected through hair or fur mineral analysis. Much of our understanding of health and nutrition problems has been learned from animal experience. Analyzing hair is a simple task requiring only 0.5 gram of hair or fur from the underside of the animal's neck. Only the two [2] inches closet to the skin should be saved for analysis. All long ends should be discarded, ensuring that only the most recent history of the animal will be
looked at. Enclose animal hair /fur sample in clean-clear plastic baggie or envelope. Turn- around time is approximately 7-10 days after the sample is received.
