Seaweed Meal - Feed Ingredient
Seaweed meal is a dried and ground product made from various species of marine algae. It is commonly used as a feed ingredient for horses due to its rich content of minerals, vitamins, and bioactive compounds. Seaweed meal is particularly valued for its high levels of iodine. It is also a natural source of polysaccharides, including alginates and fucoidans, which may influence gut health and immune function.
The production of seaweed meal involves harvesting seaweed from coastal waters, followed by drying and milling it into a fine powder or granulated form. Different species, such as Ascophyllum nodosum, Laminaria spp., and Fucus vesiculosus, are commonly used. While seaweed meal can be a beneficial supplement in equine diets, careful consideration should be given to its iodine content, as excessive intake may affect thyroid function.
