Abstract

Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharide, the main bioactive molecule in Enteromorpha prolifera, mainly composed of glucuronic acid, rhamnose-xylose, had antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune regulation, hypoglycemic, hypidemia and other biological activities, and can improve the animal production performance, enhance immunity and improve intestinal health in animal production. In this paper, physiological functions and application of Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharides in animal production were reviewed in order to provide reference for further application of Enteromorpha prolifera polysaccharides in animal production.
