Allicin, as a natural feed additive, boasts multiple benefits, including antibacterial effects, immune modulation, improved feed palatability, and enhanced egg quality.


Allicin As a natural feed additive, it boasts multiple benefits, including antibacterial effects, immune modulation, improved feed palatability, and enhanced egg quality.
Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
Allicin is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic that inhibits and kills a variety of pathogenic bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus. It can reduce the number of harmful bacteria in the intestinal tract and feces of laying hens, thereby lowering the risk of disease occurrence.
Boost immunity
Allicin can activate animal cell membranes, enhance the immune functions of macrophages and lymphocytes, promote lysozyme secretion, and improve the body's nonspecific immune capacity. This helps laying hens better resist diseases and maintain a healthy state.
Improve feed palatability
Its rich garlic aroma can mask unpleasant odors in feed, improve feed palatability, and increase egg-laying hens’ feed intake. At the same time, it also promotes gastric juice secretion and gastrointestinal motility, enhancing feed digestibility and utilization while reducing the feed-to-egg ratio.
Improve egg quality
Allicin can reduce the cholesterol concentration in egg yolks, increase yolk weight, and improve eggshell quality. Additionally, it can decrease the incidence of soft or cracked eggs and enhance the market value of eggs.
Improve the farming environment
The sulfur-containing compounds released by allicin can repel mosquitoes and flies, reduce their breeding in feces, and lower the risk of disease transmission. At the same time, it also helps decrease ammonia emissions and improve sanitary conditions in chicken houses.
Relieve heat stress
Under high-temperature conditions, allicin can help laying hens regulate their body temperature, alleviate heat stress, and improve egg production performance and hen survival rates.

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

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.

The Impact of Tiannuokang as a Substitute for Colistin Sulfate on the Production Performance of Growing-Finishing Pigs and the Microbial Population in Their Feces

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.
