16/08/2013: Rouen grain exports; Russia to invest in deep grain processing; brown seaweed used in animal feed

Unknown to most people, the common brown seaweed in coral reefs and often ignored along seashores is being converted into an insect repellant and as a supplement in animal feeds.
The seaweed belonging to the group Sargassum contains an alginate or colloidal material that can be used as food and in pharmaceutical products. This seaweed, which grows abundantly in the shallow coastal waters, is also used as an insect repellant and feed supplement for poultry and livestock. Harvesting usually done during the months of January-June is by hand picking. Seven (7) kilograms of wet seaweeds yield about a kilogram of dried seaweeds.
