| Chickens | 0.5% | GI health | the jejunum of late-stage laying hens showed a strain-dependent reduction in ZO-1 expression in response to long-term seaweed supplementation, as well as significant strain differences in the tight junction protein occludin’s expression levels. | L MacLaren et al., 2024 | |
| Chickens | extract | 0.5 kg/metric ton of feed | heat stress | adding this seaweed extract to the feed of chickens can reduce their stress during a prolonged heat stress event. | G Archer 2023 |
| Chickens | extract | 1-2 mL in drinking water | antioxidant, heat stress | significantly increased the AFI, ABWG, and AWI of chickens irrespective of heat stress. | F Akinyemi et al., 2022 |
| Chickens | 0.5% diet | blood chemistry | Results showed better production, feed efficiency and resistance to heat stress in the White layer strain, with significant liver enzyme changes in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT). More research on the biological effects of seaweed supplementation is necessary to better understand its impacts on health and performance. | S Borzouie et al., 2020 | |
