China: FAIRS Subject Report 2008 Catalog of Feed Additives 2009
On December 11, 2008, China's Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) published Decree No. 1126, the "2008 Catalog of Feed Additives". The 2008 Catalog, modified based on the "2006 Catalog of Feed Additives", adds some widely used safe feed additives and also defines the scope of use for enzymes and live micro-organisms.
Use of plant extracts in swine
The swine production industry has a growing interest in the use of essential oils. Essential oils are products of complex origin. They have antimicrobial and antioxidant effects, they stimulate appetite and intestinal secretions and they are even immunostimulants.
Whey Products in piglet diets
A large body of research data exists on the response of pigs to whey. Good quality whey protein contains all the protective components of milk protein.
A tryptophan-enriched diet improves feed intake and growth performance of susceptible weanling pigs orally challenged with Escherichia coli K88
Tryptophan supplementation of piglet diets may help to reduce the negative impact of E. coli at weaning
Pea protein as a substitute of soya bean protein in diets for young pigs: effects on productivity and digestive traits
Pea protein concentrate and fullfat soya bean have a negative impact on piglet performance and ileal digestibility compared to regular SBM
Effect of dietary soybean hulls and metal-amino acid chelated mineral supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility and noxious gas emission in growing pigs
Dietary supplementation with soybean hulls and metal amino acid chelated minerals may reduce noxious gas emissions during growing fattening period
Effect of dietary supplementation of an enzyme blend on the ileal and faecal digestibility of nutrients in growing pigs
Nutrient digestibility may be enhanced by ß-glucanase-protease enzyme blend product supplementation of growing diets
Peripartal feeding strategy with different n-6:n-3 ratios in sow: effect on gene expression in backfat white adipose tissue postpartum
The expression of the responsible genes for trapping, release and storage of fatty acids and glucose may be modulated by altering n-6:n-3 ratio of the diet in pregnant sows
Effect of different feeding regimens on growth, longevity, and semen characteristics of working boars in a commercial AI stud
AI boar longevity may be improved by using an adequate feeding programme without affecting semen production and quality
Effect of feeder adjustment on growth performance of growing and finishing pigs
In dry feeders/hoppers feed should slightly cover more than half of the feed pan to avoid limiting pig performance
Effect of crude glycerol on pellet mill production and nursery pig growth performance
The inclusion of crude glycerol in nursery diets may reduce feeding costs by
enhancing feed mill efficiency
Dietary strategies to reduce food-borne pathogens in pigs
In preliminary studies post-weaning diarrhea-causing E. coli and Salmonella populations were reduced by feeding colicins to weaned pigs.
Intestinal metabolism of weaned piglets fed a typical United States or European diet with or without supplementation of tributyrin and lactitol
The supplementation of slowly released tributyrin and lactitol in piglet diets may overcome the adverse effects of vegetable protein sources during the nursery phase
Carcass, meat quality, and sensory characteristics of heavy body weight pigs fed ractopamine hydrochloride
Dietary ractopamine supplementation in pig diet during the fattening period may improve carcass and primal cuts without affecting pork qualty
Effects of L-Carnitine supplementation one week prior to farrowing and during lactation on its concentration in milk, return to oestrus and growth performance of piglets
The dietary supplementation with L-Carnitine during late gestation and lactation in sows may increase L-Carnitine level in sow milk, and improve piglets' performance
