Compositions comprising algae and methods of using same for increasing animal product production
The present technology generally relates to a method for determining inclusion rates of red algae into livestock feed and livestock supplements.
1 . A composition comprising algae biomass comprising greater than about 5 (mg/g) w/w dried material of bromoform, wherein the algae biomass is Asparagopsis taxiformis tetrasporophyte.
2 . The composition of claim 1 , comprising greater than about 10 (mg/g) w/w dried material of bromoform.
3 . The composition of claim 1 , having a bromoform/iodine ratio equal or greater than about 5 (μg/g)/ppm dried material.
4 . The composition of claim 1 , having a bromoform/iodine ratio equal or greater than about 5 (μg/g)/ppm dried material.
5 . The composition of claim 1 , having a bromoform/iodine ratio equal or greater than about 2 (μg/g)/ppm dried material.
6 . The composition of claim 1 , comprising greater than about 9 (mg/g) w/w dried material of bromoform, having a bromoform/iodine ratio equal or greater than about 5 (μg/g)/ppm dried material.
7 . The composition of claim 1 , comprising greater than about 9 (mg/g) w/w dried material of bromoform, having a bromoform/iodine ratio equal or greater than about 2 (μg/g)/ppm dried material.
8 . A composition comprising algae biomass wherein the composition comprises less than 0.145 w/w % dry weight iodine, wherein the algae biomass is Asparagopsis taxiformis tetrasporophyte.
9 . A composition comprising algae biomass wherein the composition comprises more than 1.8 w/w % dry weight of bromoform, wherein the algae biomass is Asparagopsis taxiformis tetrasporophyte.
10 . The composition of claim 9 , wherein the biomass is a non-filamentous tetrasporophyte algae biomass.
11 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the biomass is a non-filamentous tetrasporophyte algae biomass.
12 . The composition of claim 8 , wherein the biomass is a non-filamentous tetrasporophyte algae biomass.
