Advantages of Using Liquid Seaweed Livestock Supplement
Incorporating SONIC Liquid Seaweed into livestock diets offers several advantages including improved nutrition, enhanced immune function, better digestibility, methane reduction, reduced stress levels, and environmental sustainability.
Probiotic Liquid Seaweed Mineral concentrate provides essential minerals and trace elements that are necessary for the overall health and well-being of animals. These minerals play a crucial role in various biological processes such as enzyme activation, immune function, and bone development.
Probiotic Liquid Kelp’s Unique Qualities
Organic Source of Iodine
Iodine is naturally present in seaweed kelp and is essential for thyroid function in animals. Adequate iodine levels help regulate metabolism, growth, and energy levels.
Digestive Health
The polysaccharides in kelp, such as alginates and fucoidans, have prebiotic effects that promote a healthy gut microbiome. This can improve digestion and nutrient absorption in animals.
Supports Immune System
Kelp contains antioxidants, vitamins (like C and E), and minerals that support a strong immune system, helping animals resist infections and maintain overall health.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Certain compounds in kelp, such as fucoidan, have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation and support joint health in animals.
Enhanced Coat and Skin Health
The nutrients in kelp, including omega-3 fatty acids and minerals, contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat in pets and livestock. It can also help with conditions like dry skin and coat dullness.
Methane Suppression
Methane is mainly produced in the rumen by methanogens, microbes that break down plant fibers. Probiotic liquid kelp helps shift the rumen microbiome to suppress methanogen activity. By promoting beneficial bacteria and yeasts that don’t produce methane, kelp reduces overall methane production in livestock.
Why Process Kelp Using Fermentation and Probiotic Cultures?
Fermenting kelp, using probiotic cultures, can significantly enhance the bioavailability of nutrients. Here’s how fermentation can impact the digestibility and nutritional quality:
Unlocks Minerals and Trace Elements
Fermentation can break down complex polysaccharides and other compounds in kelp, making nutrients more accessible. Probiotic cultures can help digest the fibrous components and release vitamins and minerals that might otherwise be less bioavailable.
Easy to Digest
The process of fermentation can break down the cell walls of the seaweed, which often contain complex polysaccharides that are hard for animals to digest. By breaking these down, the nutrients become more readily available for absorption.
Improved Flavour
Fermentation can also alter the flavour and odour of kelp, which can make it more palatable to animals.
Probiotic Content
Fermentation introduces beneficial bacteria, which can aid in digestion and overall gut health in animals, potentially improving nutrient absorption from the fermented kelp.
Reduction of Antinutritional Factors
Fermentation can reduce or eliminate certain antinutritional factors (like phytic acid) that can inhibit the absorption of minerals.
What Makes Probiotic Liquid Seaweed so Good for Animals?
Seaweed (Kelp), a marine plant, is rich in various beneficial compounds such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants. When incorporated into the diet of livestock animals, it can have several positive effects on their overall health and performance. Top 2 benefits include;
Prebiotic
Prebiotics are non-digestible, selectively fermented compounds that stimulate the growth and/or activity of beneficial gut microbiota. Seaweeds possess a wealth of bioactive compounds that have demonstrated various biological activities, such as antibacterial activity, antioxidant potential, anti-inflammatory properties, anti-coagulant activity, anti-viral activity and apoptotic activity.
“Prebiotic is a matrix that enables a probiotic to grow.”
– Dr Grant Richards BVSc
The prebiotic properties of seaweed lead to improved digestion allowing animals to extract more nutrients from their feed, leading to better absorption and utilisation of essential nutrients. This means that animals fed with Probiotic Liquid Seaweed can efficiently absorb essential nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals from their diet.
Probiotic
Controlled research studies have demonstrated that the administration of probiotics can positively impact the gut health of animals. By promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria, probiotics help improve digestion and nutrient absorption, leading to enhanced animal performance and productivity.
Probiotics enhance the ability of the gut to break down carbohydrates and release energy
Furthermore, live yeasts, also contained in SONIC Probiotic Liquid Seaweed, used in feed additives, has shown significant potential in improving animal health. Live yeasts can enhance rumen fermentation, increase fiber digestion, and optimise nutrient utilisation. This ultimately contributes to improved feed efficiency and overall animal well-being.

Many years of research have gone into studying the benefits of using bacterial probiotics such as lactic acid bacteria for healthy ruminant and monogaastric animals. One of the many findings on this subject, documented by F Chaucheyras-Durand and H. Durand, Wageningen Academic Publishers, include the following;
‘Due to increasing safety concerns about the risk of releasing antibiotic resistance in the environment, and the persistence of chemical residues in animal products, other strategies based on supplementation of more ‘natural’ products such as probiotics, have been developed to improve herd health and productivity.
Increasing amounts of scientific data are supporting the view that these products, which are defined as a source of live (viable) naturally occurring microorganisms, can beneficially affect the balance of GIT microbiota and that they have a real benefit in animal nutrition and health.’
