Outline
Fucoidan is a water-soluble polysaccharide derived from brown algae, which possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and immunomodulatory function, and also has a protective effect on the intestinal barrier. It has shown promise as a novel additive in animal production. This article reviews the structure, extraction methods, physiological functions, factors affecting biological activity, protective effects on the intestinal barrier, and applications in poultry and livestock production of fucoidan.
