The role of microalgae in providing essential minerals for sustainable swine nutrition by José A. M. Prates, José A. M. Prates

“…Microalgae species, such as Chlorella vulgaris and Spirulina (currently Limnospira, formerly Arthrospira), are rich in essential minerals, supplying significant levels of calcium (3.5-12.8 g/kg), phosphorus (9.1-16.4 g/kg), zinc (16.2-280 mg/kg) and iron (512-1289 mg/kg), which are critical for growth, bone development and immune support in swine. Inclusion rates of 2-5% in swine diets have demonstrated positive outcomes, with C. vulgaris at 3-5% inclusion levels significantly enhancing bone mineral density and growth in piglets, while Limnospira platensis at 2-3% inclusion has been linked to improved immune responses and increased antibody production. …”
