“…The concentration of total plasma protein in this study was closer to those reported by Chapman and Chapman [4], Hyvarinen et al [10] , Kokan et al [11] and Morris and Bubenik [14]. Conventional fractions of albumin and globulin (α-1, α-2, β and γ) were observed by electrophoresis.…”

“…In general, protein and ash values reported for wild Ulvales are inversely correlated, and the range of variation is larger than for cultivated seaweeds, which seems related to the degree of variation of environmental conditions. A high inorganic content present in seaweeds is very common and it is due to the extraordinary ability of seaweeds to accumulate elements present in the water where they live (Chapman & Chapman, 1980). The protein content found in our cultivated U. clathrata was comparable with that of protein-rich foods from terrestrial plants such as soya bean.…”

a b s t r a c tSamples of cultivated Ulva clathrata were collected from a medium scale system (MSS, 1.5 Â 1.5 m tank), or from a large scale system (LSS, 0.8 ha earthen pond). MSS samples were dried directly while the LSS sample was washed in freshwater and pressed before drying. Crude protein content ranged 20-26%, essential amino acids accounting for 32-36% of crude protein. The main analysed monosaccharides were rhamnose (36-40%), uronic acids (27-29%), xylose (10-13%) and glucose (10-16%). Some notable variations between MSS and LSS samples were observed for total dietary fibre (26% vs 41%), saturated fatty acids (31% vs 51%), PUFAS (33% vs 13%), carotenoids (358 vs 169 mg kg À1 dw) and for Ca (9 vs 19 g kg ). The chemical composition of U. clathrata indicates that it has a good potential for its use in human and animal food.

“…However, of the algae most used in animal feeding, the majority are used in the form of meal, supplementing the diets of the animals. Some algae (Ascophyllum nodosum and Luminaria digitatu) increase the pigmentation of egg yolk, and increment the growth and production of wool of the sheep and the content of fat in cow's milk (Chapman and Chapman, 1980;Rojkind, 1977a, b, c).…”

Recibido en agosto de 1992; aceptado en diciembre de 1993 RESUMENEn el presente estudio, se establece que Macroqstis pyriferu recolectada en verano e invierno, en Babia Tortugas, B.C.S., presentó variación de algunos componentes de interés nutricional para especies pecuarias, al ser analizada. Los resultados mostraron diferencia significativa (P < 0.01) en el contenido de cenizas, proteína cruda, fibra cruda y digestibilidad in vitro. Así mismo, se encontraron, para el verano, mayores valores en la mayoria de los aminoácidos. Se concluye que el alga recolectada en verano es un recurso potencial, con mayor contenido de minerales y aminoácidos, con buena digestibilidad in vitro para rumiantes y sin presencia de factores antinutricios.Palabras clave: Macrocystis pyrifera, composición quimica, alimentación animal. ABSTRACTIn the present study, it is established that Mucrocystis pyrijk-u collected in summer and winter, in Bahía Tortugas, B.C.S. (Mexico), presented variation in some components of nutritional interest for various animal species. The results showed signiticant difference (P < 0.01) in the content of ashes, crude protein, crude tiber and in vitro digestibility. Likewise, higher values were found, for summer, in most of the amino acids. It is concluded that the alga collected in summer is a potential resource, with a higher content of minerals and amino acids, with a good digestibility of the dry matter for ruminants and without the presente of antinutrient factors.
