Growth Performance, Nutrient Digestibility, and Retention in Atlantic Salmon, L., Fed Diets with Fermented Sugar Kelp, .

Using low trophic marine resources such as sugar kelp () is of great interest to increase the circular food production in the ocean. Sugar kelp does, however, contain high levels of carbohydrates and iodine and does not have considerable levels of protein and lipids, which may make it less suitable as a feeding ingredient. A 10-week feeding trial was done to investigate the effect of graded dietary inclusion levels of fermented sugar kelp (FSK), on growth performance, digestibility, retention of nutrients, and mineral composition in postsmolt Atlantic salmon ( L.

Dietary inclusion of methanotrophic microbial cell-derived protein in the early postweaning period sustains growth performance and intestinal health of weaner piglets.

The global demand for sustainably produced protein feeds for animal production is increasing. Methanotrophic bacteria grow on methane and convert it into microbial cell protein (MCP) that has been shown to have high nutritive value for growing pigs. The present aimed to investigate how increasing amounts of MCP in diets fed during the first 15 days after weaning affect the growth performance of piglets from weaning until day 43 postweaning.
