1. Expand feed sources. In China’s vast rural areas, there is an abundance of agricultural and sideline products, such as corn stalks, wheat straw, wheat bran, rice straw, rice husks, peanut shells, sweet potato vines, and more. In the past, these materials were seldom used to feed pigs or were even considered unsuitable for pig feed. However, after being crushed and fermented, these raw materials can be transformed into feed that pigs love, thereby greatly expanding the range of feed available for pigs. 2. Save on concentrated feeds. Roughage and green forage are... Fermenting agent Under the action of microorganisms, the fermentation process produces organic acids, alcohols, and esters through microbial metabolic activities, thereby improving the palatability of the feed and enabling pigs to consume and utilize coarse and green feeds in greater quantities. This, in turn, reduces the consumption of concentrated feeds, significantly lowers feeding costs, and enhances the economic benefits of pig farming. 3. Faster weight gain. During the fermentation of coarse and green feeds, the continuous heat generated by microorganisms softens the feed and imparts a pleasant acidic aroma, enhancing its palatability and encouraging pigs to eat more readily. This also stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, facilitating digestion and absorption. Moreover, due to the vigorous proliferation of microorganisms, the microorganisms themselves become rich in proteins and vitamins, thus enriching the nutritional content of the feed. Consequently, after fermentation, coarse and green feeds exhibit higher nutritional value, allowing pigs to grow rapidly upon consumption. Improved pig health and reduced disease incidence. Fermented feed contains proteins, B-vitamins, and enzymes that are essential for maintaining normal physiological functions in animals, thereby promoting pig health and enhancing their disease resistance.

Latest experiment
Broiler Glucose Oxidase Experiment
One-day-old Ross 308 broiler chickens were selected, with a total of 4 chicken houses, each housing 11,000 birds. The birds were randomly divided into a control group and a treatment group, with 2 chicken houses assigned to each group. The control group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with Changle (allicin and oregano phenol) at 100 mL/ton, while the treatment group was fed a commercial diet supplemented with glucose oxidase at 100 U/L. During the trial period, birds had free access to feed and water. The trial lasted for 42 days. The experimental diet consisted of corn, soybean meal, wheat, cottonseed meal, DDGS, peanut meal, duck fat, and premixes, among other ingredients; nutritional parameters are shown in Table 1.
Lactic Acid Bacteria Experiment
Effect of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Broiler Diarrhea: A Raising Experiment Experimental Site: Jiyang Zheng* Animal Husbandry Farm Experiment Period: August 31, 2015 – September 4, 2015 Experimental Subjects: 30-day-old broilers Experimental Design: Control Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water Experimental Group: Normal feeding + normal drinking water + lactic acid bacteria (liquid)
Piglet Fruit Milk Flavor Experiment
Twenty 28-day-old weaned piglets of the Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbreed, with similar body weights and in good health, were selected for the trial. They were randomly divided into two treatment groups: a control group and a test group. The control group was fed a basal diet, while the test group was fed a basal diet supplemented with 600 g/t of fruit-milk flavoring. Each group consisted of five replicates, with two piglets per replicate. During the trial period, the pigs had free access to feed and water, and the trial lasted for 28 days.
In this trial, 120 healthy, growing pigs of similar body condition, weighing 80 ± 10 kg, were randomly divided into a control group, an antibiotic group, and an essential oil group. The specific feeding design is shown in Table 1. Each group consisted of 4 replicates, with 10 pigs per replicate. The trial duration was 29 days. The experimental diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements outlined in NRC (2012). During the trial, pigs had free access to feed and water, and were subjected to routine husbandry management and vaccination protocols. Body weights at the beginning and end of the trial, as well as feed intake, were recorded. At the end of the trial, fresh fecal samples were collected from each pig, placed into sterile 10 ml centrifuge tubes, and stored at -80℃.
Tian Yikang replaces chlortetracycline in the ROSS-308 trial.
This experiment employed a single-factor experimental design. A total of 6,000 Ross-308 broiler chickens, aged 1 day and with roughly similar body weights and good health conditions, were randomly selected and divided into three treatment groups, with five replicates per group, each replicate consisting of 400 chickens. The control group was fed a basal diet based on corn and soybean meal. The experimental group 1, the antibiotic group, had 50 g/t of a 15% chlortetracycline premix added to the basal diet. The experimental group 2, the Tianyikang addition group, had 1,500 g/t of Tianyikang added to the basal diet. The entire experiment lasted for 42 days.
