Description
A blue-green alga sold as a health food may also feed chickens, if their guts can cash its worth. Taylor O'Lear Reid and nine co-authors price that worth in 2024, for meat birds and laying hens side by side. Test diets swapped a quarter of the base feed for the alga, with a tracer dust to track the gut's take.
The meat birds cashed far less of the alga's energy than the hens: 2,368 against 3,144 units per kilo. Egg birds' age and gut may explain the gap, the team holds. Protein-part uptake was read the same way. Feed tables gain two honest numbers, one per bird kind, in place of a guess.
