Utilização da farinha de algas calcáreas na alimentação animal

Abstract: O cálcio é um elemento essencial, tendo função básica na formação dos ossos e dentes, e em diversos processos fisiológicos. Na alimentação animal são utilizadas diversas fontes de cálcio, dentre elas o cálcio proveniente das algas marinhas calcáreas. Sabe-se que as algas calcáreas retém elevado índice de elementos minerais do meio marinho, além de apreciável quantidade de substancias nutritivas. O Lithothamnium calcareum pertence ao grupo das algas vermelhas ou rodofíceas, da família das Coralineacea, é uma al… Show more

“…According to Melo and Moura (2009), higher solubility of Ca sources improves bioavailability and intestinal absorption of Ca. They also emphasize that organic sources of this mineral (such as seaweed, shells, bones and eggshell) present higher solubility compared to inorganic sources (MELO;MOURA, 2009). Despite this, inorganic sources are the most commonly used in animal feed because they are abundant and inexpensive, such as limestone and dicalcium phosphate.…”

“…Neither were significant differences observed in the chemical composition of the flesh of animals that received the combination of additives (P>0.05). When using calcareous seaweed flour in beef cattle from extensive breeding schemes, Melo & Moura (2009) did not evaluate their effects on the meat's chemical composition. For the reason that this compound is rich in highly available minerals, changes related to the meat's mineral matter could occur.…”

“…For the reason that Lithothamnium calcareum is basically composed of minerals, such as copper, some of these elements may have led to changes. Dias (2000) found primarily calcium carbonate and magnesium, besides over 20 trace elements such as Fe, Mn, B, Ni, Cu, Zn, Mo, Se and Sr, which show great bioavailability for intestinal absorption (MELO & MOURA, 2009). The calcareous seaweed flour treatment led to a 74% increase in the content of linolenic acid (C 18:3) as compared to control.…”

“…Inúmeros compostos são tidos como potencias fontes de cálcio, sejam eles orgânicos (farinha de ossos, conchas, e algas) ou inorgânicos (rochas) (MELO & MOURA, 2009). No entanto, sem análise prévia para utilização na nutrição de aves poedeiras encontram-se incertezas quanto a sua eficácia para este fim.…”
