  1. 1. Feeding brown algae and brown algae extracts from Saccharina Latissima to Broiler breeders : effects on transfer of antibodies and nutrients from hen to egg

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Stina Kling; [2021]
    Keywords : broiler; broiler breeder; brown algae; Saccharina Latissima; laminarin; prebiotic; transfer; antibodies; nutrients; iodine; chicken; egg quality;

    Abstract : Brown algae and extracts of algae have been proved to have prebiotic effects. Seaweeds grow very fast and underwater. This is good from a sustainable point of view since algae do not need fertilizers, freshwater or agricultural land for growth. Brown algae is rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals, and has an especially high content of iodine. READ MORE

  3. 2. Identifying factors of importance for chick quality and traits that may predict chick quality

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management
