The five main uses of feed additives


Feed additives are small amounts or traces of substances added to feeds to meet specific needs, in small amounts but with significant effects. Feed additives are inevitable raw materials used in the modern feed industry and have a clear effect on strengthening the nutritional value of basic feed, improving animal performance, promoting animal growth and development and improving the quality of livestock products.
  
Five main uses
  
Eucommia extract a. Strengthening the nutritional value of basic feed
  
Because of the lack of certain micronutrients in feed, livestock and poultry are prone to nutritional deficiencies and nutritional metabolism disorders, which affect the growth and development of livestock and poultry and cause economic losses. The appropriate use of additives in the feed can strengthen the nutritional value of basic feed, improve feed utilization, give full play to the production potential of livestock and poultry, and improve livestock productivity.
  
Recommended products: Eucommia extract 5%-98% chlorogenic acid
  
Artichoke extract II, improve feed palatability, improve production performance
  
The application of feed flavouring agents is of positive significance in improving the palatability of feed and promoting livestock feeding. Feed flavouring agents are widely used in artificial milk for piglets and milk replacer for calves. The use of feed flavouring agents not only improves the palatability of feed, but also improves animal production performance and obtains good feeding results.
  
Recommended products: Artichoke extract 1.1% chlorogenic acid, 5% artichoke acid
  
Promote growth and development
  
Growth promoters are effective in preventing and controlling diseases, enhancing immunity and promoting growth. Its use has grown rapidly in recent decades and has played a positive role in improving the production performance of livestock and poultry.
  
Recommended products: Echinacea purpurea extract 4% polyphenols, 4% chicory acid
  
Echinacea purpurea extract
  
IV. Improving the quality of livestock products
  
Consumers are increasingly demanding the quality of livestock products, through feed additives, can improve the appearance of livestock products colour and internal quality, extend the shelf life of livestock products, at the same time, to obtain a better sales price, improve economic returns.
  
Recommended products: Rosemary extract 5%-20% rosmarinic acid, 10%-20% caudic acid
  
Rosemary extract
  
Silymarin extract V. Improving the breeding environment
  
Through appropriate feed additives, the production of harmful gases such as ammonia and methane from the animal organism can be reduced and the emission of elements such as nitrogen and phosphorus can be reduced, thus improving the barn environment. At the same time, it can also improve the use of feed protein, promote animal growth, improve the quality of animal products and reduce the incidence of animal diseases and other effects.
  
Recommended product: Silica Extract 30%-60% Silica Saponins
  
When choosing additives, it is important to understand the nature, composition and characteristics of the product, which is the main basis for rational use in combination with the feeding object and conditions. As far as possible, choose natural, green and safe products.
