Abstract

The effects of dietary supplementation with rice bran crude lecithin (RBCL) on rumen fermentation and blood biochemical parameters in crossbred cattle were investigated in the present study. For the study, 18 male crossbred Vrindavani cattle (BW 315.66±19.95 kg and 30-36 months of age) were selected and randomly divided into three groups, namely, RBCL-0, RBCL-4, and RBCL-8, containing six animals per group based on a randomized block design (RBD) and offered a total mixed ration (TMR) supplemented with 0, 4, and 8% RBCL in their concentrate mixture, respectively. The rumen pH was unaffected by RBCL supplementation, whereas the ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentration was increased in the RBCL-supplemented groups. The molar concentrations of acetate, butyrate, and TVFA were unaffected, whereas the propionate concentration increased and the A/P ratio decreased in the RBCL-supplemented groups. The activity of rumen microbial enzymes (carboxy methyl cellulase, xylanase, and avicelase) was not influenced by RBCL supplementation. The inclusion of RBCL in crossbred cattle diet did not significantly alter Hb, haematocrit, total protein, albumin, globulin, A/G ratio, BUN, ALT, AST, and total cholesterol. It can be concluded that supplementation of RBCL by replacing an equal amount of corn did not show any adverse effect on rumen fermentation and blood-biochemical profile.

Abstract

Seaweeds or marine macro-algae are multicellular organisms that grow abundantly along the coastal line. The use of seaweeds as animal feed is a very common practice in coastal areas since ancient times. Generally, seaweeds are categorized into green, brown, and red seaweeds, based on their colouring pigments. Commercially, seaweeds are used as a source of phycocolloids, fertilizer, livestock feed, and for direct human consumption. The use of seaweeds as livestock feed gained much importance in recent years, as they have good nutritive value and also contain a variety of bioactive compounds that are responsible for many health related benefits. The bioactive compounds of seaweeds exhibit prebiotic, antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and immunomodulatory effects. Over the years, the beneficial effects of using seaweed in animal diets have been studied and reported by many researchers to promote the health and productive performance of livestock. In particular, the brown seaweeds were explored extensively as livestock feed because of their large size. The nutrient value and bioactive compounds concentration in seaweed varies with the species, growing conditions, habitat, environmental changes, season, harvesting procedure, and time. While including seaweed in animal diets all these factors should be taken into consideration. In this review, all the studies related to seaweed supplementation in animal diets will be discussed with a special focus on the potential health benefits.
