Seaweeds comprise ca. 12,000 species. Global annual harvest is ca. 30.13 million metric tonnes, (valued ca. $11.7 billion USD in 2016) for various commercial applications. The growing scope of seaweed-based applications in food, agricultural fertilizers, animal feed additives, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and personal care is expected to boost market demand. Agriculture and animal feed applications held the second largest seaweed market share in 2017, and the combined market is anticipated to reach much higher values by 2024 due to the impacts of current research and development targeting enhanced animal health and productivity. In general, seaweeds have been utilized in animal feed as a rich source of carbohydrates, protein, minerals, vitamins and dietary fibers with relatively well-balanced amino acid profiles and a unique blend of bioactive compounds. Worldwide, the animal nutrition market is largely driven by rising demand for poultry feeds, which represents ca. 47% of the total consumption for all animal nutrition. This review provides an overview of the utilization of specific seaweeds as sustainable feed sources for poultry production, including a detailed survey of seaweed-supplemented diets on growth, performance, gastrointestinal flora, disease, immunity and overall health of laying/broiler hens. Anti-microbial effects of seaweeds are also discussed.

综述了在选择的家禽中大量使用海藻作为膳食补充剂的情况，特别是关于蛋鸡和肉鸡的产蛋

海藻约占。12,000种。全球年度收成约为 3013万公吨（2016年价值约117亿美元）用于各种商业用途。在食品，农业肥料，动物饲料添加剂，药物，化妆品和个人护理中，以海藻为基础的应用范围不断扩大，预计将推动市场需求。农业和动物饲料应用在2017年占据了第二大海藻市场份额，由于当前针对提高动物健康和生产力的研究和开发的影响，预计到2024年，整个市场将达到更高的价值。通常，海藻已被用作动物饲料中的碳水化合物，蛋白质，矿物质，维生素和膳食纤维，具有相对平衡的氨基酸特征以及独特的生物活性化合物混合物。在全球范围内，动物营养市场在很大程度上受到对家禽饲料需求不断增长的驱动，这代表了家禽饲料的增长。所有动物营养的总消耗量的47％。这篇综述概述了利用特定的海藻作为家禽生产的可持续饲料来源，包括对补充海藻的日粮的生长，性能，胃肠道菌群，疾病，免疫力和蛋鸡/肉鸡整体健康状况的详细调查。还讨论了海藻的抗微生物作用。这篇综述概述了利用特定的海藻作为家禽生产的可持续饲料来源，包括对补充海藻的日粮的生长，性能，胃肠道菌群，疾病，免疫力和蛋鸡/肉鸡整体健康状况的详细调查。还讨论了海藻的抗微生物作用。这篇综述概述了利用特定的海藻作为家禽生产的可持续饲料来源，包括对补充海藻的日粮的生长，性能，胃肠道菌群，疾病，免疫力和蛋鸡/肉鸡整体健康状况的详细调查。还讨论了海藻的抗微生物作用。
