Research Progress on Biological Activity and Application of Enteromorpha Prolifera Polysaccharides in Animal Production
Enteromorpha prolifera also known as moss strips or moss,is a nutritious marine plant.Its main bioactive substance is Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharide(EPP).EPP is one kinds of sulfated heteropolysaccharide,which is mainly composed of rhamnose,xylose,glucose,glucuronic acid,etc.EPP shows various biological functions such as antioxidant,antiviral,anti-tumor,hypoglycemic,hypolipidemic,immune regulation,etc.In animal production,EPP can be used as effective feed additive to promote growth rate and enhance immunity activities.Besides,it can also improve intestinal health of animal.This review summarizes the physiological functions of EPP and its application in animal breeding,aiming to provide reference for its application in animal production.
