Abstract

Seaweeds have been recognized globally as the biological and ecologically potential sources of proteins, lipids, fibers, and minerals for livestock. The study was carried out for a period of 3 months from April to June 2023 in Saint Martin’s Island, Bangladesh, to explore the potentials of red seaweed (Rhodophyta) and green seaweed (Chlorophyta) as livestock feeds. Samples were collected from Saint Martin’s Island and analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), ether extracts (EE), total ash (TA), and metabolizable energy (ME) in the animal nutrition laboratory of Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University. Results indicated that the estimated DM content of the red seaweed (91.1%) was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than that of green seaweed (89.3%). However, the CP content of red seaweed (11.90%) was significantly lower (P<0.05) than that of green seaweed (12.60%). Accordingly, the extract content of red seaweed (0.01%) was also significantly (P < 0.001) lower than that of green seaweed (0.17%). Contrastingly, the estimated TA content of red seaweed (27.8%) was significantly (P 0.05) in the estimated CF and NFE contents of the red and green seaweeds. It was concluded that both red and green seaweed could be a potential source of livestock feed.

Keywords: Crude protein, livestock, metabolizable energy, nutritive value, proximate composition, seaweed
