Microalgae as feedstuff additive in pig fattening (AlgaPork)
In order to assess the nutritional and health benefits of microalgae, these are fed to selected groups of individuals during pig fattening. For this purpose, the microalgae are cultivated on-farm within a closed photobioreactor system and applied to the feedstuff in concentrations of up to 3 % (dry mass). The project aims to investigate the promotional effects of microalgae on health and efficiency parameters. Another target is to assess the eventual approval of microalgae as feedstuff additive.

With the cultivation in a photobioreactor (PBR) directly next to the barn, fresh algae biomass could be harvested daily and added to the feed without intermediate storage or preparation.
Based on the results of the practical trials, it could be shown with statistical significance that both the performance, i.e. the increase during the period of algae addition, as well as the administration of medication and animal removal changed for the better.
On the process side, synergies could be created, in this case by linking the cooling of the PBR and the heating of the process water.
