Chlorella vulgaris microalgae as a sustainable feed ingredient: effects on meat quality and myopathy occurrence in broiler chickens

Dietary C. vulgaris is a useful strategy to manipulate breast meat colour, while higher inclusion rates in diets improve the n-3 fatty acids content in breast meat. The impact of C. vulgaris on myopathies in broilers is not evident, but some differences in the gross examination in WB rate between birds fed the control diet and the diet with 6% m highlight the need for further investigation.
