Shot in the dark, but I know a lot of animals will occasionally ingest dirt or clay or other earthy material for the purpose of obtaining trace elements and minerals. Maybe this substance in the dog food provides for that?

That's not very logical though. If that was the case, why does the food still contain the 'standard' list of vitamins and minerals? My biggest issue is that it's located so far up in the list, meaning it makes up a large part of the food since ingredients are listed by weight.
I wonder if I contacted the company and asked them what they'd say?

Logical or not, Connie posted that the Mont is there for silicate minerals, something that didn't seem broken down in the ingredients list, and it's possible that in nature those silicates could be derived straight from the dirt. Of course, I'm just speculating, so if you still have the inclination to call the company up and ask exactly what it's there for, why it's good to have and such, hopefully you'll have good luck with them and get a straight answer. Their reported benefits are also worth inquiring about; maybe there are studies out there about this substance?
