Published: Feb. 7, 2025

The integration of microalgae as a mineral source in swine nutrition provides sustainable alternative to conventional supplements, offering unique nutritional and environmental benefits. Microalgae species, such Chlorella vulgaris Spirulina (currently Limnospira , formerly Arthrospira ), are rich essential minerals, supplying significant levels calcium (3.5-12.8 g/kg), phosphorus (9.1-16.4 zinc (16.2-280 mg/kg) iron (512-1289 mg/kg), which critical for growth, bone development immune support swine. Inclusion rates 2-5% diets have demonstrated positive outcomes, with C. at 3-5% inclusion significantly enhancing density growth piglets, while platensis 2-3% has been linked improved responses increased antibody production. In addition contribute bioactive compounds, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids antioxidants that health productivity. Environmentally, offer notable benefits by requiring less land water compared crops, effectively sequestering carbon providing bioremediation capabilities, thereby reducing the ecological impact livestock Despite these advantages, challenges remain optimizing bioavailability due resilient cell walls certain may require mechanical or enzymatic pre-treatments enhance nutrient absorption. Future research should aim improving treatments, production costs conducting long-term feeding trials validate economic impacts diets. Overall, represent promising resource nutrition, aligning objectives modern agriculture.

Zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), as well selenium (Se) are vital trace minerals supplemented for pigs and broilers that support their biological activities. In animals, demonstrate a variety of effects promote growth improve health, depending on the form supplementation (such inorganic, organic, or nano forms) levels. Inorganic with low bioavailability excreted into environment through feces, causing pollution. contrast, organic minerals, which have higher bioavailability, can reduce mineral excretion environment. However, high cost complexity chelate analysis limit complete replacement inorganic minerals. Nano surface area, exhibit enhanced bioavailability. Nonetheless, inconsistent, optimal usage levels not been clearly established. Hot Melt Extrusion (HME) technology serves an innovative processing tailored to broilers. Minerals processed HME achieve nanoscale size, providing larger area improved Additionally, heat pressure toxicity, allowing lower level compared while offering various advantages. This review aims explore forms inclusion in broilers, discuss HME-minerals generated technology.
