Spotlight on benefits of defatted microalgae for poultry and swine
Defatted biomass from the biofuel industry may replace some of the corn and soybean currently used for weanling pigs, broiler chicks, and laying hens, report scientists from the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University.
According to an extensive review in the Journal of Animal Science, the Cornell scientists report that all three animal types are able to tolerate the incorporation of microalgal biomass into their diets at a level of 7.5%.
