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.
