Scientific Formulation and Precise Application: A Guide to the Efficient Use of Aquaculture Additives
Release time:
2025-04-02
In modern animal husbandry, the use of additives has become a crucial approach for enhancing animal productivity and boosting disease resistance. However, to achieve efficient utilization of additives while avoiding resource waste and potential risks, it is essential to adhere to scientific principles and optimize technological practices.
1. Select on demand, precise categorization
There are many types of additives, including nutritional fortifiers (such as amino acids and vitamins) and growth promoters ( Probiotics , enzyme preparations), health-care products ( Acidifier and antioxidants, among others. The appropriate type should be selected based on the species being raised, their growth stage, and environmental conditions. For example, during the chick stage, it’s important to enhance vitamin D intake and maintain a balanced calcium-to-phosphorus ratio; during the fattening phase, compound enzyme preparations can be added to improve feed conversion efficiency. Precise classification helps avoid unnecessary additives and reduces overall costs.
2. Dynamic proportioning, phased adjustment
Animals exhibit significant differences in their nutritional requirements across various growth stages. It is recommended to adopt a dynamic formulation management system that adjusts the proportion of additives in real time based on data such as body weight and feed intake. For example, during the weaning period of piglets, adding 2‰ sodium butyrate can improve intestinal health; however, in the later stages of fattening, the amount of trace elements added should be gradually reduced to avoid accumulation and residues.
3. Enhance process efficiency and unleash activity.
Enhance the utilization rate of additives through preprocessing techniques. For example, combine probiotics with encapsulation technology to enable their targeted release in the intestine; use microencapsulated vitamins to prevent loss due to high-temperature granulation. When formulating feed, adopt a staged addition process: heat-sensitive ingredients (such as enzyme preparations) are sprayed after conditioning, thereby minimizing activity loss.
4. Precise monitoring, closed-loop optimization
Establish an evaluation system for the effectiveness of additive use, and regularly monitor animal growth performance, fecal residue levels, and environmental emission data. For example, use near-infrared spectroscopy to analyze feed digestibility and, in combination with serum indicators, adjust the dosage of antioxidants accordingly. This creates a closed-loop management system of “input—feedback—optimization,” enabling precise regulation.
5. Green Alternatives, Sustainable Development
Under the antibiotic ban policy, natural additives such as plant essential oils (e.g., oregano oil) and fermented traditional Chinese medicines can be used as alternatives to antibiotics.
The key to the efficient use of additives lies in “scientifically understanding needs + precisely controlling the process.” By integrating intelligent management systems with biotechnology, we can not only enhance aquaculture efficiency but also ensure food safety and ecological sustainability, providing technological support for the high-quality development of the industry.
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.
Since 1998, focused on animal feed intake and health.
