Use of microseaweeds (Chlorella pyrenoidosa) as a probiotic in dairy goats feeding

The effect of dietary Chlorella vulgaris inclusion on goat's milk chemical composition, fatty acids profile and enzymes activities related to oxidation

“…In accordance with our findings, no differences in goat's milk FA profile were found by Moreno‐Indias et al. () when the animals fed with a diet supplemented daily with 5 g Chlorella pyrenoidosa, but no information was given about its FA profile. On the other hand, Kouřimská et al.…”

“…The same has been found in goats by Moreno‐Indias et al. () when the animals fed 5 g Chlorella pyrenoidosa per day. On the contrary, Póti et al.…”

The antioxidant effect of dietary micro algae supplementation on milk, blood and rumen of dairy goats

“…There was only one paper used low fat micro algae (5 g/day of C. pyrenoidosa) as a probiotic in dairy goats feeding (Moreno-Indias et al, 2014). The study reported that, there was no significant effect of C. pyrenoidosa addition on milk fat percentage between treated and control group.…”

“…Finally, from this review of literature most of the studies in ruminants has been used micro algae that hight fat content as a source of PUFA's to modify the FA's in milk (Franklin et al, 1999;Papadopoulos et al, 2002;Christaki et al, 2012). There was only one paper used low fat micro algae (Chlorella) in dairy goats (Moreno-Indias et al, 2014) and reported that, the addition of 5 g/day of C. pyrenoidosa is not enough to show any differences on milk quality parameters and the concentration of micro algae added should be revised. So our study comes to investigate two strains of Chlorella (C. pyrenoidosa and C. vulgaris) with (10 g/ kg concentrate) as a source of a natural antioxidant in dairy goats to investigate their effect on milk yield, milk composition, enzymes activities and FA profile of blood plasma and milk and on rumen enzymes and microbes.…”

“…Due to the fact that micro algae have the above biological active substances, they have been used in human (Jose and Arley, 2013) and animal nutrition; rats (Vijayavel et al, Introduction 2007;Su-Ching et al, 2012), poultry (Gouveia., 1996, Carrillo et al, 2008 , pigs (Sardi et al, 2006, Bichi et al, 2013, dairy cows (Lopex et al, 2013), dairy ewes (Papadopoulos et al, 2002, Toral et al, 2010and Moreno-Indias et al, 2014.…”
