Synergistic effect
"Both seaweed meal and green meal contribute to an improvement in the animal's general health. In combination, a synergistic effect will be achieved, as the two agents have different mechanisms of action that support each other. Both agents have an antioxidant effect, which means that they are able to protect the body's cells and organs from destructive free radicals.Free radicals are formed under a number of conditions such as stress and by infections. In addition to the common antioxidant effect, there is also a significant antimicrobial effect of both agents. Seaweed flour works in particular by forming a protection for the intestinal wall, so that disease-causing bacteria cannot attach to and attack it. The antimicrobial effect of green flour is due to the content of essential oils that are known to have an antimicrobial effect. The combination of the protection of the intestinal wall and the direct attack against the disease-causing bacteria, gives a completely unique effect on the animal's state of health."
"The prebiotic effects and the antimicrobial activities of laminarin and fucoidans may have beneficial effects in the prevention of gastrointestinal diseases and to enhance diet digestibility in post–weaning piglets. Laminarin also has an anti-inflammatory activity, which reduces the pro–inflammatory cytokine response. The seaweed content of antioxidant molecules enhances the antioxidant status and meat oxidative stability. Dietary supplementation with brown seaweed may positively affect the immune system, enhancing immunoglobulin production and modulating cytokine production."

"It was only in the early 2000s, when detailed analysis of the complex structure of the polysaccharides associated with seaweeds was tied to their prebiotic actions, that a clear explanation for the basis of productivity and health enhancement was attained. Further analysis indicated that other constituents in various brown seaweeds such as phlorotannins and antioxidants also contributed to the observed bioactivities."
"Seaweeds for animal production use"
Frank Evans & Alan T. Critchley
Journal of Applied Phycology, 26(2), April 2013
"Seaweeds are very rich in useful metabolites (pigments, carotenoids, phlorotannins, polyunsaturated fatty acids, agar, alginate and carrageenan) and minerals (iodine, zinc, sodium, calcium, manganese, iron, selenium), being considered as a natural source of additives that can substitute the antibiotic usage in various animals."

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 25 July 2020
"In the preliminary pilot studies, the researchers compared deaths, diarrhea, and growth in piglets given antibiotics; piglets receiving seaweed supplements; and piglets that got nothing special. The seaweed seems to have pretty much the same effect as antibiotics"

"Seaweed is a health food. Bioactive substances are e.g. antioxidants that are perceived as health-promoting and stimulate the immune system. Polysaccharides affect the bacterial flora and reduce the ability of bacteria to adhere to the intestinal wall. When this happens, the risk of E. coli is reduced. The carbohydrate moiety is difficult to digest, and therefore acts more like fiber than carbohydrate. A high fiber content in the feed prolongs the passage time through the stomach, and therefore allows for increased absorption of nutrients and minerals. All properties that make seaweed a health food."
