“…In general, these results are in agreement with Costa et al [62] all treatments were within the acceptable limits for rabbitfish (Siganus rivulatus) fry as reported by [2,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37].…”

“…This contradicts the results described by Costa et al (2013), who observed improved feed conversion and carcass yield. However, these authors worked with younger fish, as well as those in healthy growing conditions.…”

“…FAM is provided as a fine powder, lightly cream-colored, with a characteristic smell. A quantity of 20 g kg -1 of feed was provided to fingerlings (Costa et al 2013). The percentages used in this experiment (based on natural materials) for moisture, mineral matter, organic matter, ether extract and crude protein were 9.64, 22.34, 77.66, 2.49, and 7.70 respectively, and the gross energy value was 2,826.99 (kcal kg -1 ) (Alves Filho et al, 2011).…”

Ascophyllum nodosum in the diet of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and its effect after inoculation of Aeromonas hydrophila

ABSTRACT.-Oliveira S.T.L., Veneroni-Gouveia G., Santos A.C., Sousa S.M.N., Veiga M.L., Krewer C.C. & Costa M.M. 2014. Ascophyllum nodosum in the diet of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and its effect after inoculation of Aeromonas hydrophila. Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira 34 (5) The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of Ascophyllum nodosum brown seaweed meal (FAM) on the health of Nile tilapia submitted to inoculation with Aeromonas hydrophila. The experiment was conducted for a period of 40 days using 120 Nile tilapia fingerlings, with age of 40 days, distributed in 20 tanks. A diet including Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed meal at 20g.kg -1 and a control diet (without FAM) were provided which constituted the treatments. Thirty days after beginning the experiment, A. hydrophila was inoculated by bacterial inoculum diluted in sterile saline solution at a concentration of 10 6 CFU ml -1 . Except for the width, which was greater for the treatment with the provision of FAM (P<0.05), there was no influence on the performance parameters of the fingerlings, but the occurrence of lesions in animals inoculated with A. hydrophila and fed with FAM was lower and they also exhibited a decline in the lesions in a shorter period of time than the control group. FAM prevents hepatopancreatic congestion in infected animals. Ascophyllum nodosum brown seaweed meal reduced the number of lesions in fish in a shorter time when compared to the control group.

Marine macroalgae as sources of protein and bioactive compounds in feed for monogastric animals

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Marine macroalgae are considered as promising sustainable alternatives to conventional terrestrial animal feed resources. The advantages include high growth rate, potential cultivation in saltwater, and no occupation of arable land. Macroalgae are broadly classified as brown (Phaeophyta), red (Rhodophyta) and green (Chlorophyta) algae, and are a diverse group of marine organisms. The nutritional value of macroalgae is highly variable. The protein and essential amino acid content can be low, especially in brown species, and indigestible polysaccharides adversely affect the energy value. Optimal use of macroalgae in feeds requires suitable processing, and biorefinery approaches may increase protein content and improve nutrient availability. Macroalgae are rich in unique bioactive components and there is a growing interest in the potentially beneficial health effects of compounds such as laminarin and fucoidan in different macroalgal and macroalgal products. This review summarizes current literature on different aspects of the use of macroalgae as sources of protein and health-promoting bioactive compounds in feed for monogastric animal species.
