Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are gaining importance in animal feeding due to their ability to upcycle low-value agroindustry by-products into high-protein biomass. The present study evaluated the nutritional composition of BSFL reared on brewer’s...

Polyphenols from brown seaweeds as a potential antimicrobial agent in animal feeds (2020)
Journal Article
Ford, L., Stratakos, A. C., Theodoridou, K., Dick, J. T., Sheldrake, G. N., Linton, M., …Walsh, P. J. (2020). Polyphenols from brown seaweeds as a potential antimicrobial agent in animal feeds. ACS Omega, 5(16), 9093-9103. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsomega.9b03687

Seaweeds offer a natural source of antimicrobials that may help curb antibiotic resistance in livestock. The antibacterial activity of phlorotannin extracts isolated from two brown seaweeds Ascophyllum nodosum and Fucus serratus was tested. The mecha...
