Points To Note When Adding Feed Additives To Pig Feed

Feed additives have the functions of improving the nutrition of feed, improving the utilization rate of feed, promoting animal growth and preventing diseases, and reducing the loss of nutrients during feed storage. Therefore, feed additives are an indispensable part of feed. There are many kinds of pig feed additives, including additives for supplementing nutrition, such as amino acids, inorganic salts, trace elements, vitamins, etc. There are non-nutritional additives for improving animal health, promoting animal growth or meeting special requirements such as feed processing, such as growth agents, antioxidants, antifungal agents, etc.

1. Fully grasp the characteristics, efficacy, synergistic or antagonistic effects, dosage and usage of various feed additives. According to the pig's age, weight, health status, etc., feed it reasonably and do not abuse it.

2. The dosage must be strictly controlled according to the instructions on the product packaging, the method of feeding should be paid attention to, and precautions must be followed, and no unauthorized changes are allowed.

3. Reasonable feeding should be carried out according to the physiological condition, developmental stage and environmental conditions of the pigs. Be sure to stir evenly when using, especially if the feeding amount is small, a small amount of pre-mixing is required.

4. Additives for short-term storage should be mixed with dry powder and not mixed with fermented feed or water-mixed feed for storage. It cannot be boiled and eaten together with the feed.

5. Additives should be stored in a dry, cool and light-proof environment to prevent loss of activity and affect the effect. Vitamin additives in particular should avoid high temperature and exposure.
