Simple Summary In large-scale pig farming, alternative and safe antimicrobials are needed
to enhance pig nutrition. Seaweed bioactives, and in particular phlorotannins, have been …

The role of terrestrial tannins in livestock nutrition has been extensively investigated, but
information on effects of tannins from marine sources on nutrient utilization is limited. This …

BACKGROUND: Use of brown algae (seaweed) in ruminant diets is increasing, but the
effects of its phlorotannins (PT) on rumen microbial ecology have not been determined …

BACKGROUND Phlorotannins (PhTs) are marine tannins consisting of phloroglucinol
subunits connected via carbon–carbon and ether linkages. These have non‐covalent …

Multiple issues confront ruminant-based food production today, including environmental
emissions, climate change, and escalating food–feed–fuel rivalry for arable land. As a result …

Simple Summary In pig nutrition, alternative and safe supplements are needed to enhance
the pigs' health and welfare. Natural feed components, such as herbs and plant extracts, are …

Simple Summary The use of plant bioactive compounds like tannins to modulate ruminal
biohydrogenation is a good strategy to optimize the fatty acid composition of ruminant …

In this study, a brown macroalgae species, Saccharina latissima, processed to increase its
protein concentration, and a red macroalgae species, Porphyra spp., were used to evaluate …

Simple Summary The transition from milk to solid feed in commercial pig-production systems
negatively affects gut health, particularly the composition of the residing microbial …

Polyphenols in plants can protect proteins from degradation and improve the efficiency of
conversion of plant protein to animal protein (meat and milk), but can this be achieved in a …
