Protein value of Norwegian seaweed evaluated for feed

A recent study aimed to evaluate the protein value of 2 seaweeds, namely Saccharina latissima and Palmaria palmata, grown in Norwegian waters, and to characterise its effects on the intestine and other organs. Mink, a well-established model for comparison of nutrient digestibility in monogastric animals, was used. Seaweeds as nutrient source Seaweeds have long been used as sources of nutrients, and their potential in the diets of animals is also under investigation. Some seaweed species conta
