This project explores the use of phlorotannin, a compound from brown macroalgae, as a natural alternative to in-feed antibiotics in pig farming. It aims to improve gut health and immunity in weaned pigs, addressing the challenges posed by the ban on traditional antibiotics and zinc oxide.
Modern pig production hugely depends on in-feed antibiotics to control postweaning diarrhea (PWD) and improve pig gut health during weaning.
However, the use of in-feed antibiotics and zinc oxide (ZnO) has already been banned in Europe prompting an urgent need for alternative solutions.
Currently, there is emerging interest in various bioactive compounds from brown macroalgae such as the polyphenolic compound phlorotannin (Pt) as a potential alternative due to their diverse biological activities…
