Summary
Single cell protein (SCP) can be produced from microalgae, yeast, or bacteria and its application in agriculture is on the increase. SCP can be used as alternative protein ingredients to conventional soybean meal or fish meal. In addition, it is of particular interest in animal nutrition since SCP has ability to produce various functional components including amino acids, nucleotides, omega-3 fatty acids, polysaccharides, or antimicrobial peptides. In this sense, SCP as either nutraceuticals or feed ingredients can be utilized to improve the production, welfare and health of animals including companion animals and livestock. The special issue will explore the potential of SCP in global animal industry. Articles related to SCP or its components and their application in animal nutrition (research papers, short communications, reviews) are all welcome.
