Microalgae are a promising potential feed resource due to their favourable nutrient composition. However, their nutritional value may vary between algae species and also within species depending on cultivation conditions. Furthermore, many microalgae species develop robust cell walls or cell coverings which may restrict nutrient digestibility. Data on the ruminal fermentation of microalgae are scarce. Thus, it was the objective of this study to investigate if there are differences in ruminal fermentation characteristics of different microalgae species and if cell disruption affects ruminal fermentation.
