Utilization in agriculture and animal feed

Commercial seaweed finds application as fertilizer, soil conditioner, and feed additive in agriculture and animal husbandry. Kelp meal obtained from seaweed biomass is a bio-stimulant that enhances plant growth and crop yields when added to soil. It improves the water retention and aeration of soil. Seaweed extracts act as natural biostimulants that stimulate the growth of roots which helps plants withstand drought and diseases. The rise of organic and sustainable farming practices has driven interest in seaweed based inputs. For the livestock industry, seaweeds act as prebiotics that promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. Their use in animal feed modulates immunity and oxidative stress. Seaweeds help improve feed conversion efficiency and productivity. The aqua-culture sector also utilizes seaweeds as natural fertilizers and food for shrimp, salmon, and other farmed fish. As commercial seaweed production increases to meet the rising demands from agriculture and animal husbandry, more investments are being made in seaweed cultivation and processing infrastructure.
