Apparent crude fat diges.bility of the algae products

Although the algae products represented a minor proportion of total dietary lipids some indications were observed: All algae products gave a reduction in lipid digestibility with increasing inclusion of algae lipids. Calculation of the digestibility of lipids in the algae products would result in negative digestibility.

Ø  Reduced feed intake, growth, and digestibility

Ø  Reduced enzyme activity and bile salt levels in the intestine

Conclusion - 1

•  Microbes represent very promising feed ingredients

•  They are sustainable feed resources - they do not require agricultural land, use little water (or recycling) and can be made from non-food raw materials

•  Micro algae have some limitation concerning opening up the cell-walls and low digestibility of nutrients in several species

•  Some microbes (both bacteria, yeast and microalgae) contain many interesting bioactive components that can give positive health effects

•  The positive health effects are very species (and possibly also strain) specific

Conclusion - 2

•  To be successful, microbial ingredients must have a high nutritional value (omega 3)/health benefits and be produced economically

•  Revisions of EU regulations on microbial protein sources (Regulation (EC) No 767/2009) will facilitate further development and use of such products as feed ingredients
