- Benefits of OceanFeed™ Swine
650 pigs in OceanFeed-fed group and 650 pigs in control group. Average start weight of 55 lbs (25 kg). OceanFeedTM Swine added at 10 LBS (4.5 kg) per ton.
- 4% higher average daily gain and 0.215 lbs. Feed / lb the gain in feed efficiency improvement.
- 2% lower death loss and 2.5% lower cull rate.
- Oceanfeed diets maintained pig growth performance in the absence of AGP and with reduced ZNO.

Seaweed has several bioactive compounds and nutrients. As a complex ingredient, the activity of a combination of these compounds may explain the observed effects. Focusing around a critical class of compounds, a substantial body of scientific evidence has been generated to demonstrate that polysaccharides exert positive (prebiotic effects) on cellulolytic and lactic acid bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract while inhibiting some commonly occurring pathogenic bacteria such as C. difficile and E. coli. Polysaccharides also have a stimulatory effect on the innate immune system. The net effect is a better balance of the gut microbiome and reduced inflammation leading to improved gut morphology (crypt/ villus maturity), and nutrient absorption.
