Botanical Extract - Feed Safety Solutions for Pig Breeding

Plant extracts have gained significant attention as a promising alternative to antibiotics in the feed industry due to their safety, effectiveness, stability, and ease of control. The increasing use of plant-based additives plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of animal feed and products, protecting consumer health, and supporting the sustainable development of the livestock sector. **Overview of Plant Extracts** Modern feed additives often include plant extracts derived from various sources. Many of these plants are commonly used in human food, such as rosemary, thyme, oregano, yucca, garlic, citrus, fenugreek, anise, and others. These extracts possess antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, effectively targeting pathogens responsible for infections, inflammation, and coccidiosis. They also show strong activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, contributing to better gut health in animals, reducing diseases, and improving overall performance. **Application of Plant Extracts in Pig Farming** In pig farming, plant extracts have become a valuable tool for enhancing productivity and animal well-being. Chinese herbal extracts, in particular, have been widely used for their dual nutritional and medicinal benefits. Over 100 medicinal plants are known for their use as feed additives, including garlic, pepper, wormwood, pine needles, ginger, cinnamon, and many others. Studies have shown that extracts like garlic, valerian, oregano, and mustard exhibit strong antibacterial properties. Natural extracts such as OEO (oregano essential oil) not only have antioxidant and immune-modulating effects but also help reduce piglet diarrhea, improve growth rates, and enhance feed conversion efficiency. Research by Tian Yunbo demonstrated that adding herbs like Astragalus, Paeonia, Rhizoma, Poria, and Bupleurum to pig diets significantly improved growth performance and influenced serum biochemical markers and growth hormones, confirming their endocrine-regulating effects. Additionally, the use of natural plant extracts was found to increase lean meat percentage, reduce fat content, and improve meat quality in terms of tenderness, juiciness, and flavor. **Plant Estrogens** Among the various plant compounds, daidzein, a phytoestrogen, has shown remarkable benefits in animal production. It enhances weight gain and feed efficiency in male animals by increasing levels of testosterone, D-endorphin, growth hormone, and other key hormones while lowering blood urea nitrogen and cholesterol. This promotes muscle protein deposition and supports faster muscle growth. Daidzein interacts with estrogen receptors in the hypothalamus and pituitary, influencing the neuroendocrine system and promoting mammary gland development in lactating animals. It also helps regulate metabolic activities and improve milk composition, making it a valuable addition in dairy and breeding operations. Overall, plant extracts offer a safe, effective, and sustainable alternative to traditional antibiotics, supporting both animal health and the long-term viability of the feed industry.

Single Channel Pipette

This micropipette enables true one-handed operation without changing the holding position: adjust volume, Pipette, remove tip.
