Biological Functions and Health Promoting Effects of Brown Seaweeds in Swine Nutrition
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, prophylactic use of antibiotics in livestock have been banned by European Community with the consequence of a growing research towards new, safe and natural ingredients, like plant extract, that would have antimicrobial properties [1]. In this context, seaweed extracts have assumed great importance in animal nutritionfor the high content in bioactive molecules [2]. Seaweed or marine macroalgae are divided in three categories: red (Rhodophyta), brown (Phaeophyta) and green (Chlorophyta) [3].
