![]() A 2-tablespoon (10-gram) serving of raw wakame seaweed - the amount often used in homemade versions - contains ( 2, 3): ![]() Still, wakame seaweed on its own is a much better source of nutrition. Thus, there is some benefit to consuming a mixed seaweed salad. The dish’s high fiber content actually comes from agar agar, another type of seaweed that is sometimes added to seaweed salad. While there’s little data to suggest that these ingredients are inherently harmful, they provide little to no nutritional value. Many premade seaweed salads also contain added sugar, salt, high fructose corn syrup, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, and food colorings such as yellow #5 and blue #1. Sodium: 36% of the Reference Daily Intake (RDI).Read more about seaweeds as well as other new proteins in All About Feed’s exciting New Proteins dossier.The seaweed salads you may find in most restaurants - the bright, neon-green side dishes - are often premade by another food manufacturer and may contain a long list of food additives, colorings, and flavorings.Ī 100-gram serving of seaweed salad provides ( 1): Makkar and Philippe Ankers, FAO, Rome, Italy Gilles Tran and Valérie Heuzé, Association Française de Zootechnie, Paris, France Sylvie Giger-Reverdin, attached to both the INRA, Paris France and the AgroParisTech UMR, Paris, France Michel Lessire, INRA, Nouzilly, France and François Lebas, Association Cuniculture, Corronsac, France. sheep and poultry, in Animal Feed Science and Technology was compiled by Harinder P.S. The total article, also including effects for other livestock species, e.g. Also it was found to decrease the feed conversion ratio. coli load in faeces, suggesting better animal health. prolifera included at 1–3% resulted in improved egg production and quality: it increased weight, shell thickness, and yolk colour and reduced cholesterol in yolk. Boiling improved high density lipoprotein, a desirable trait for human health. ![]() It decreased yolk cholesterol, triglycerides and n-6 fatty acids and increased carotene and lutein plus zeaxanthin contents. Sargassum dentifolium fed raw, boiled or autoclaved at levels of 3% or 6%, was beneficial to egg quality. Benefits of seaweed on egg qualityīrown seaweed Sargassum species from the Red Sea shore fed to laying hens during 20–30 weeks at 1–12% dietary level had no deleterious effect on body weight, egg weight, egg production, feed conversion ratio and egg quality. lactuca at 3% dietary level in broilers (12–33 day-old) had no effect on feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and nutrient retention, while its inclusion at levels higher than 10% resulted in lower feed intake and reduced growth rate in 3 week-old broilers and cockerels. It had a positive effect on feed intake, feed conversion ratio and average daily gain while reducing abdominal and subcutaneous fat thickness, thus improving breast meat quality. ![]() Green seaweed Enteromorpha prolifera fed to broilers at inclusion rates ranging from 2% to 4% provided best nutrient availability and high apparent metabolizable energy, which may be attributed to a high level of amylase in the duodenum. While high dietary concentrations of calcium from limestone decrease phosphorus digestibility, the lower concentrations made possible by calcified seaweeds result in better bone health and reduced leg weakness and lameness. Nowadays, seaweeds are fed as additives in low amounts, with inclusion rates being generally low at 1–5%.Ĭalcified seaweeds are a valuable alternative source of calcium for broilers as availability of organic calcium is higher than that of inorganic calcium from mineral sources such as limestone. Seaweeds have been used in poultry to improve animal immune status, to decrease microbial load in digestive tract, and for their beneficial effect on quality of poultry meat and eggs. Below, the findings with regard to poultry are summarised. The article summarised the most relevant research to the use of seaweed in livestock diets. The overview was presented by scientists from Italy and France in the scientific journal Animal Feed Science and Technology. Seaweed – in what role can it be successfully applied in poultry diets? A recent scientific overview examines their role as an additive and their potential effects for poultry health and egg quality.
