Article Synopsis
- * Supplementing pigs' diets with fermented S. latissima improved gut microbiota diversity and altered immune gene expression in response to infections, particularly in different sections of the gut.
- * While the seaweed did not significantly reduce parasite levels or egg excretion, it may create a healthier gut environment during parasite infections, suggesting further research into seaweeds for gut health improvement is warranted.
Widespread use of antimicrobial drugs has led to high levels of drug-resistance in pathogen populations and a need for novel sources of anti-bacterial and anti-parasitic compounds. Macroalgae (seaweed) are potentially a rich source of bioactive compounds, and several species have traditionally been used as vermifuges. Here, we investigated the anti-parasitic properties of four common cold-water Nordic seaweeds; (Rhodophyta), , and (Ochrophyta, Phaeophyceae).
