Moreover, the substances contained in kelp and most trace elements are present in an organic state, which is easier to absorb than inorganic minerals. Therefore, the use of kelp powder as a feed additive can effectively improve the nutritional structure of the feed, and can significantly promote the production performance and reproductive capacity of livestock and poultry, and at the same time improve the quality of livestock and poultry products, and achieve good application in production practice. effect. It is briefly summarized as follows for reference. hXP China Feed Industry Information Network - based on feed, serving animal husbandry
