Bioactive compounds in seaweed: functional food applications and legislation (2011, background): “However, the effect on growth performance in healthy animals was negative (Gardiner et al. 2008).”
Algae as production systems of bioactive compounds (2015, background): “Gardiner et al. (2008) examined the increasing level of A. nodosum extract (3, 6, and 9g of extract/kg) applied in a diet of grower–finisher pigs.”
Seaweed extract stimuli in plant science and agriculture (2011, methodology): “nodosum extract (Kerry Enhancer) as a dietary supplement for grower–finisher pigs was conducted with 360 animals for 61 days (Gardiner et al. 2008).”
Cultivation of Ulva lactuca with manure for simultaneous bioremediation and biomass production (2011, background): “…example, the application of enhancing health conditions has been reported for pigs fed with seaweeds as nutritional supplement (Dierick et al. 2010; Gardiner et al. 2008), and also, improvements in milk composition from algae fed dairy cows and ewes have been documented (Papadopoulos et al. 2002;…”
