Within the Australian beef industry bovine respiratory disease is considered one of the most common disease and costs the industry an average net loss of $1647.53 Australian dollars per animal death to bovine respiratory disease complex (BRD). This is due to the disease overwhelming the animal's immune system during a period where they experience multiple stressors that consequently increase the animal's susceptivity to disease. Research into the bioactive compounds commonly found in marine algae is rapidly increasing due to its positive health benefits and potential immune modulating properties. Algal supplementation within previous studies has resulted in improved reproduction potential, growth performance, increases antioxidant activity and decreased proinflammatory cytokine concentrations. Additional research is required to further understand the aetiology of BRD and complete analysis of the bioavailability of these bioactive compounds within marine algae to fully explore the potential of marine algae supplementation.
在澳大利亚牛肉行业中，牛呼吸道疾病被认为是最常见的疾病之一，每头牛因牛呼吸道疾病综合征（BRD）死亡给该行业造成的平均净损失为1647.53澳元。这是因为在动物经历多种应激源从而增加其对疾病易感性的时期，该疾病会使动物的免疫系统不堪重负。由于其对健康有益且具有潜在的免疫调节特性，对海藻中常见生物活性化合物的研究正在迅速增加。在先前的研究中，添加海藻已带来繁殖潜力提高、生长性能改善、抗氧化活性增强以及促炎细胞因子浓度降低的效果。需要进一步研究以深入了解BRD的病因，并全面分析这些海藻中生物活性化合物的生物利用度，从而充分探索添加海藻的潜力。
