Algae in feed for young livestock
- improved health: there are indications that microalgae in feed improve gut health and activate the immune system
- improved performance: faster growth and better feed conversion
- sustainability: microalgae are a natural, sustainable ingredient
- microalgae can steer metabolic and immunological processes
In an in vitro study, Wageningen UR has shown that microalgae positively impact the immune system. It, in turn, has a positive effect on animal health.
We gladly share our experiences in applying algae as a starter feed and use our know-how to help you identify product applications, such as supplement powders and tablets containing microalgae.
Algae are available in various colour and nutrient densities. Our algae range from white and yellow to a natural dark green, all with different nutrient compositions. Phycom microalgae have consistent quality and superior purity.
