Spirulina Extract Ingredient Empowers Innovation in Animal Nutrition Products
Spirulina extract, derived from natural blue-green algae, is a premium raw material with a complete nutritional profile and rich bioactive compounds, hailed as a “super nutritional source.” It boasts a protein content of 60% to 70%, featuring a balanced amino acid composition and excellent digestibility and absorption rates, significantly outperforming many traditional protein sources.
In the field of animal nutrition, this extract demonstrates broad application potential. Its high-protein characteristics effectively enhance feed nutritional value, promoting animal growth and overall health; Natural bioactive components such as phycocyanin, alginates, and gamma-linolenic acid help strengthen animal constitution and improve overall production performance.
Green Spring Technology employs advanced bioextraction techniques to produce spirulina extract products with stable composition, high purity, and consistent batch-to-batch quality. This ingredient is suitable for aquaculture feed, compound feed for livestock and poultry, and feed for specialty economic animals, enabling customers to develop functionally differentiated, high-value-added animal nutrition products.
We are committed to advancing the innovative application of spirulina extracts in the global animal nutrition market, providing clients with reliable, efficient, and sustainable natural ingredient solutions.
1 Application of Spirulina Extracts in Animal Production
1.1 Aquaculture Applications
Rich in protein, amino acids, and multiple trace elements, spirulina extracts have become a highly regarded natural additive in aquatic feed. Research indicates its positive effects in promoting growth in fish and shrimp, enhancing digestive efficiency, and improving body coloration.
In fish farming, adding spirulina extract effectively increases weight gain rates and nutrient digestibility. For instance, adding varying proportions of spirulina extract to koi feed showed that as the addition rate increased, fish weight gain and the digestibility of dry matter, protein, and fat all significantly improved. Further research indicates that appropriate supplementation can further enhance weight gain and feed utilization while contributing to more vibrant fish coloration.
In shrimp farming, spirulina extract also demonstrates strong application potential. Relevant trials show that adding spirulina-plant composite extracts significantly improves shrimp weight gain rates and survival rates, promoting growth performance. Furthermore, spirulina extract helps boost digestive enzyme activity in shrimp, supporting their healthy growth.
Green Spring Technology's spirulina extract features high purity and stable composition, making it suitable for various aquatic feed formulations. It enhances feed nutritional value and utilization efficiency, providing reliable support for healthy, high-efficiency aquaculture.
2 Applications of Spirulina Extract in Livestock Production
2.1 Poultry Farming
As a premium natural feed additive, spirulina extract demonstrates multifaceted value in poultry farming. Research indicates its positive effects on enhancing production performance and improving product quality.
Incorporating spirulina extract into laying hen diets boosts egg production rates and feed conversion efficiency while increasing average egg weight. Furthermore, spirulina extract significantly improves yolk color, imparting a more natural golden hue that enhances visual quality and market appeal.
In broiler chicken production, spirulina extract supplementation promotes growth, increases total weight gain, and improves feed efficiency. Concurrently, chickens exhibit improved feather luster, vibrant comb coloration, and overall robust health.
Green Spring Technology's spirulina extract offers high purity, stable composition, and ease of incorporation into feed formulations. It effectively meets nutritional requirements across poultry growth stages, providing safe and efficient nutritional solutions for farming enterprises to enhance the market competitiveness of livestock products.
2.2 Swine Production
Spirulina extract demonstrates strong application potential as a natural, high-efficiency feed additive in swine production. Research indicates its positive effects in promoting piglet growth, improving feed utilization, and supporting animal health.
Including spirulina extract in weaned piglet diets helps increase daily weight gain and feed intake while reducing the feed-to-weight ratio and improving feed conversion efficiency. Practical experience also shows that spirulina extract supplementation enhances intestinal health in piglets and reduces diarrhea incidence.
During the finishing phase, appropriate spirulina extract supplementation further increases daily weight gain, optimizes body fat distribution, improves carcass quality, and enhances lean meat yield. Additionally, spirulina extract demonstrates positive effects on boosting reproductive performance in breeding pigs.
2.3 Ruminant Farming
Spirulina extract exhibits unique application value in ruminant farming. Research indicates its positive role in optimizing rumen fermentation conditions and improving the utilization efficiency of fibrous nutrients.
Adding appropriate amounts of spirulina extract to the diets of dairy and beef cattle helps increase the rumen degradability of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF), promoting the digestion and utilization of structural carbohydrates in feed. Simultaneously, spirulina extract supports the maintenance of a stable rumen environment.
