The \u201cliving\u201d portion of the hair is found in the follicle and the hair that is visible is the hair shaft, which exhibits no biochemical activity and is considered \u201cdead.\u201d The mineral composition within the cortex remain intact indefinitely as the hair continues to grow.\u00a0 A 1 to 1-1\/2 inch sample of hair cut from as close to the skin as possible provides information about the mineral activity in the canine over a 3 to 4 month period.<\/p><p>An Equine HTMA test provides detailed information about your horse&#8217;s health. It includes nutritional elements, additional elements, significant ratios, and endocrine and performance indexes. HTMA is an effective toxicity screen, indicating toxic elements, as well as toxic ratios.\u00a0\u00a0Soil scientists have understood the importance that trace minerals play in plant health for 100 years. Forensic anthropologists use hair analysis extensively in understanding diet and environmental conditions of animals dating as far back as prehistoric
