Potential for Food and Feed WP2: Microalgae
Only ~2% human food currently comes from oceans Eating organisms from higher trophic levels is not ecologically efficient
Algae: 80,000 – 100,000 species – only ~200 eaten
Macroalgae: ~100 x more Wheat: ~70,000 x more
Species Protein% Carbohydrates% Lipids% Soya 37 30 20 Arthrospira platensis 63 15 11 (Spirulina) Dunaliella salina 30-60 50 20 Chlorella vulgaris 51-58 12-17 14-22 Haematococcus 48 27 15 pluvialis

• 1,180 male, 12-hour old commercial broiler chicks
• Diets with 0.1% defatted powder compared to those fed without
• significantly improved feed conversion ratio
• significantly gained more weightAnimal feed
• Up to 1% addition: chicks gained more weight than control
• >1%: chicks failed to gain weightWorkshop: Analytical Methods UG X Dec 2019
