Title: Study on Acidifiers Application in Weanling Piglets

Five treatments and single factor were utilized. One group(an negative control) was offered without acidifier, four groups were offered the same diet supplemented with 0.2% A1, A2, A3 and A4 respectively. Results showed ①Feed intake per day increased 0.94%~15.64%. Average daily gain increased by 12.00%~37.43%. Feed conversion enhanced by 7.73%~13.26%. Piglet diarrhea reduced by 62.46%~84.99%. ②Acidifiers lowed gastrointestinal pH, activated digestive enzymes. ③Acidifiers decreased the blood sugar and urea nitrogen in piglets respectively and increased the total serum protein. ④ The effect of A1 and A3 was better. So adding acidifiers in piglets could increase the growth performance and apply to pig pollution-free production.Read More
