Seaweed supplement, e.g., seaweed extract or seaweed meal is directly fed to cattle or pigs in amount of 0.01 to 5% by weight of diet to enhance carcass quality. The enhancement of carcass quality for cattle is manifested by increased quality grade, increased marbling, increased ribeye area and decrease in yield grade in meat obtained on slaughter compared to where seaweed supplement is not fed. The enhancement of carcass quality for swine is manifested by increased marbling, increased firmness and decreased cooler shrink in meat obtained on slaughter compared to where seaweed supplement is not fed.
