Feed additives are a commonly used product in the livestock-raising process. Many people, when purchasing feed additives, don't pay attention to the active ingredient content—they only look at the price and weight. They tend to buy the cheaper ones more often. However, in actual use, this approach... Feed additives There aren’t many active ingredients in it. Even if the product passes inspection, adding such a small amount to a ton of feed won’t make much difference. Although it’s cheap, it’s a waste of money—useless, no matter how you look at it—and it even hampers the profitability of livestock farming. For example, if a mycotoxin-decontaminating agent fails to work, it can damage the intestinal health of livestock, cause diseases, and affect their market readiness. That’s the biggest loss of all. So when purchasing feed additives, we should pay close attention to their active ingredient content. If you have any doubts, you can start by buying a small-packaged trial product to test its effectiveness before deciding to buy larger quantities.

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.
