“…Seaweeds have high carbohydrate, protein, fiber, vitamin, and mineral contents [4][5][6]. High mineral content makes it a potential additive to animal feedstuffs for replacing a part or whole of the mineral supplementation.…”

Twelve lactating Sahiwal cows were divided into three equal groups on the basis of milk yield (mean 8.39 L/day), parity and body weight. All the animals were fed concentrate mixture along with wheat straw and green oats (Concentrate mixture and roughages as 50:50; green oat and wheat straw as 60:40) as total mixed ration for 126 days. While group T1 was fed ration consisting of concentrate mixture without any additional mineral mixture and common salt, group T2 had 2 % mineral mixture and 1 % salt in their concentrate mixture and group T3 had 20 % seaweed (Sargassum wightii) in their concentrate mixture without additional mineral mixture and salt. A metabolism trial of 7 days collection period was conducted on all the experimental animals after 56 days of experiment. The results showed that there were no significant changes in nutrient intake and digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, crude fibre and ether extract. Similarly, there were no significant changes in milk composition (protein, fat, lactose, solid-not-fat) in different treatment groups. However, seaweed supplemented group had significantly (P \ 0.05) higher milk yield and 4 % fat corrected milk yield than the other groups. Thus, incorporation of brown seaweed in the diet of lactating Sahiwal cows to the extent of 20 % in concentrate mixture increased their milk yield.

“…1). Singh et al (2016) also reported no significant effect on DM intake in lactating Sahiwal cows given Sargassum wightii seaweed powder in concentrate mixture at 20% level. On the other hand, Al-Shorpey et al (2001) reported that supplementation of seaweed meal @ 1% in lambs diet increased DM intake, however, FCR was better in group given no seaweed meal.…”

Eighteen crossbred cows were divided into 3 groups of 6 animals each based on milk yield, body weight, parity and days in milk to study the effect of supplementation of K. alvarezii based SWP on feed consumption, milk production and composition for a period of 150 days. The cows in group T1 were fed rations as per their nutrient requirements (ICAR, 2013). The cows in groups T2 and T3 were fed the similar rations as in control group (T1), however, the diets were supplemented with 1.5 and 3% of K. alvarezii based SWP (K. alvarezii powder: Gracilaria salicornia powder: K. alvarezii sap powder in 1: 1: 1 ratio) on DM basis through concentrate mixture in groups T2 and T3, respectively. Daily feed consumption, milk composition and organoleptic appraisal of milk were not influenced by SWP supplementation, however, persistency of lactation seemed to be better in group 3 supplemented with 3% SWP in the ration of crossbred cows particularly post Â 5th fortnight after start of the experiment.

“…carotenoids and chlorophylls, bromophenol and phloroglucinol (Holdt & Kraan 2011) with excellent nutritional properties (essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals) (Barrow & Shahidi 2007;Cardoso et al 2015;Holdt & Kraan 2011;Pangestuti & Kim 2011;Sánchez-Machado et al 2004;Satpati & Pal 2011). They can also be used as animal and fish feed (Abudabos et al 2013;Ergün et al 2008;Makkar et al 2016;Singh et al 2015Singh et al , 2016. In addition, green seaweed have been extensively investigated for: (1) energy and biofuel production (Bruhn et al 2011;Chen et al 2015;Fernand et al 2017;Hughes et al 2012;Jiang et al 2016a;Milledge et al 2014;Neveux et al 2015;Nikolaisen et al 2011;Rocca et al 2015;Sambusiti et al 2015;Suutari et al 2015); and (2) for bioremediation and water treatment, including fishpond and industrial effluent, due to their high capacity for uptake and accumulation of nutrients and metals (Kumar et al 2016;Mata et al 2016;Mwangi & Ngila 2012;Neori et al 1996;Tsagkamilis et al 2010;Zeroual et al 2003).…”

Green technology in green macroalgal biorefineries

Marine biorefineries, based on macroalgal (seaweed) feedstocks, could provide sustainable alternative sources of food, energy, and materials. Green macroalgae, with their unique chemical composition, can contribute to marine biorefinery systems associated with a wide range of potential products. This review discusses the challenge of developing industrially relevant and environmentally-friendly green seaweed biorefineries. First, we review potential products from green seaweeds and their co-production, the key element in an integrated biorefinery. Second, we discuss large-scale cultivation, hydrothermal treatments, fermentation, anaerobic digestion, and emerging green solvents, pulsed electric field, microwave, and ultrasound processing technologies. Finally, we analyse the main polysaccharides in green seaweeds: sulfated polysaccharides, starch, and cellulose, as products of a cascading biorefinery, with emphasis on applications and technological challenges. We provide a comprehensive state-of-the-art review of green seaweed as feedstock for the biorefinery, analysing opportunities and challenges in the field.
