Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to utilising red marine macroalgae of the Asparagopsis species to provide improvements in growth performance of livestock, particularly ruminant animals for red meat production, especially cattle, in pasture and feedlot farming systems. There is provided a method for improving the growth performance of a livestock animal in a farming system including: providing a red marine macroalgae of the Asparagopsis sp. to a farming system to enable consumption of said red marine macroalgae by a livestock animal in the farming system; thereby improving the growth performance of the livestock animal in the system.
