EFFECT OF ASCOPHYLLUM NODOSUM EXTRACT ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE, DIGESTIBILITY, CARCASS CHARACTERISTICS AND SELECTED INTESTINAL MICROFLORA POPULATIONS OF GROWER-FINISHER PIGS (2008, unknown): “In fact, there is some evidence that they may offer potential as alternatives to antibiotic growth promoters for pigs (Grinstead et al., 2000; He et al., 2002; Turner et al., 2002), but to our knowledge, there are no reports concerning effects on the porcine gut microbiota.”
Effects of diets with increasing levels of Spirulina platensis on the performance and apparent digestibility in growing rabbits (2008, background): “The dietary use of algae has also been proposed bymany authors as a protein feed supplement for swine (Yap et al.; 1982; Hugh et al., 1985; Grinstead et al., 2000) or as a protein replacement for soybean meal in rabbit diets (Battaglini, 1979; Raju and Sreemannarayana, 1995; Sreemannarayana et al.”
