Widespread use of antibiotics in veterinary and human medicine has, over time, selected for a broad spectrum of pathogens that are resistant to antibiotics. This is of major concern for public health and has resulted on an EU ban on ‘in-feed’ antibiotics in animals. Hence there is an urgent requirement to identify alternatives. The preventative and therapeutic properties of seaweed has been known since early times. The objective here is to characterise the molecules in native macroalgae that have health promoting properties, develop the large-scale methodologies to purify them and explore commercial avenues for them in the animal feed industry.
