Which booster is the best for pigs?

In the pig breeding system, weaned piglets is a high loss stage of breeding, piglets weaned from breast milk, dietary structure, environmental change multiple stress superimposed, generally appear stubborn watery diarrhea, feed intake plummeted, intestinal villi atrophy, growth stagnation formation of stagnant pigs, etc.; coupled with the immature development of organs of young piglets, liver detoxification, immune organs, weak defense ability, moldy feedstuffs produce mycotoxin The continuous damage to the organism, piglet morbidity rate remains high all year round, feed utilization rate is low, and the weight difference between the same feeding cycle is huge, which is the key obstacle for small and medium-sized pig farms and large-scale breeding farms to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Relying on years of livestock and poultry nutrition research and development, Lima Biologicals' EffectMax® Pig Growth Booster is customized for the physiological characteristics of weaned to 35kg growing piglets, based on the four core active raw materials of bioactive peptides, oligosaccharides, plant polysaccharides, and composite enzymes, and a combination of organic chelated trace elements, composite vitamins, and natural plant extracts. It is a non-resistant feed additive focusing on the five major needs of piglet intestinal care, mycotoxin adsorption, anti-stress, weight gain promotion and immune enhancement, and it is also a benchmark growth promoter with the usage rate of piglet nursery stage increasing year by year in 2026. It is a perfect solution to the integrated feeding program of “Protecting intestines, removing mold, improving immunity, promoting absorption and reducing material consumption”, which can solve the problems of piglet dilution and slow growth from the source.

What is a pig growth booster?

Pig growth booster, referred to as growth booster in the industry, is a functional feed additive that is added to full-price compound feed, self-prepared concentrated feed and premixed feed to promote feeding, improve digestion, increase weight, reduce diarrhea and optimize feed-to-meat ratio by regulating the physiological environment of the intestinal tract of the pig, perfecting the digestive enzyme system, improving the metabolism of the organism, enhancing the immune ability and neutralizing the anti-nutritional factor of the feed. General term.

Divided from the form of adding and using, booster for swine is divided into three major dosage forms: powder, granule, liquid oral liquid, of which ultra-fine powder mixing products are the mainstream of the market, accounting for more than 75% of the market; liquid booster is mostly used for drinking water addition, which is suitable for emergency use in stress period of weaned piglets and refusal of piglets in high temperature and hot summer; granule-type booster is mostly pre-mixed in premixes, and mostly used by customized feed mills on a large scale. Most of the granular booster is premixed in premixed feed, which is mostly used by large-scale feed mills for customization.

Core Mechanism of Pig Growth Boosters

From birth and weaning to 110~130kg standard finishing weight, the whole growth cycle of pig is subject to five key factors: digestive and absorption ability, intestinal health, the number of beneficial bacteria in the body, the level of antioxidants in the body, and the content of antinutritional factors in the feed, and the high quality booster is precisely centered on the five major pain points to play a role:

To regulate the balance of intestinal flora. Probiotics as the core raw material of booster into the digestive tract of pigs, a large number of beneficial bacteria in the small intestine, large intestine lining planted occupancy, inhibit E. coli, Salmonella, Clostridium difficile and other conditional pathogens reproduction, to reduce the metabolism of harmful bacteria produced by endotoxins on the intestinal villi damage, to maintain the intestinal villi integrity, intestinal absorption of the surface area of the enhancement of the feed protein, amino acids, calcium and phosphorus, microelement absorption rate naturally rise. After the surface area of intestinal absorption is increased, the absorption rate of protein, amino acid, calcium and phosphorus in the feed will naturally rise.

Supplemental exogenous digestive enzymes. Corn, soybean meal, vegetable meal, cotton meal and other conventional feedstuffs naturally contain phytic acid, non-starch polysaccharides, antitrypsin and other anti-nutritional factors, the pig's own secretion of endogenous digestive enzymes can't completely decompose these substances, a large number of nutrients with the fecal discharge resulting in a waste of feed, composite enzyme booster supplemented with protease, amylase, phytase, cellulase and other exogenous enzymes, crack the antinutritional factor bondage to release the hidden nutrients of the feed. It can release the hidden nutrients from the feed.

It strengthens the spleen and opens the stomach to improve feed intake. The volatile oils and flavonoids in the essential oils and herbal extracts of booster can stimulate the taste buds in the pig's mouth and the secretion of digestive juices in the gastrointestinal tract, improve the anorexia and the decline in feed intake in the post-disease period, high-temperature stress and transition period of material change, and steadily improve feed intake is the basic guarantee for weight gain.

Optimize the efficiency of body metabolism. Small peptide, guanidinium acetic acid, organic trace element booster can accelerate protein synthesis and muscle deposition in the body of pigs, reduce the ineffective hoarding of excess fat, optimize the body shape of pigs, and shorten the number of days to slaughter.

How to choose the best booster for your farm business?

Matching different growth stages of hogs

Pigs are divided into four stages: weaned piglets, growing pigs, fattening pigs and breeding sows, and the physiological characteristics and nutritional needs of different stages are very different. For piglets with imperfect gastrointestinal development, it is preferred to focus on probiotic + multi-dimensional formula to relieve weaning stress and diarrhea; for medium and large fattening pigs, the core demand is rapid weight gain, so it is preferred to use amino acid + enzyme compound weight gain additives; for breeding sows, it is preferred to focus on Chinese herbal medicine + trace element formula to take into account the reproduction performance and the health of mother, so as to avoid blindly generalizing one additives.

Anchor your own farm's breeding goal

Different farms have different development directions, and the logic of product selection changes: conventional commercial fattening farms, give priority to compound additives that take into account both the speed of weight gain and the control of feed ratios; farms focusing on ecological and organic pork, prohibit antibiotic growth promoters throughout the whole process, and can only choose Chinese herbs, probiotics, and natural formulations; weak epidemic prevention and perennial disease retail farms, give priority to the selection of additives that focus on the enhancement of immunity, and reduce the mortality rate before pursuing the efficiency of weight gain. (c) Verify the core ingredients of the products.

Verify the core ingredients of products

The ingredients of high-quality growth promoter products are transparent and verifiable. Probiotics are preferred to Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis and other mature strains that have been proved through breeding; lysine is the main key amino acid for weight gain; herbal medicine is preferred to extracted extracts from local raw materials rather than cheap dregs of crushed material; mineral priority is given to chelated zinc and organic trace elements, which is more than twice as efficient as the absorption and utilization rate of inorganic trace elements. When choosing and avoiding vague ingredient lists, raw materials labeling generalized miscellaneous products.

Strictly abide by the bottom line of product safety

In the environment of non-antibiotic breeding policy, antibiotic growth promoter additives have been gradually restricted the use of priority to choose no antibiotic additives, no prohibited growth promoter hormone compliant products. Non-compliance with the addition of hormone weight gain products for short-term rapid weight gain, but will cause damage to the organs of pigs, drug residues exceeding the standard, pigs can not pass the slaughter quarantine, bringing huge losses to the farm.

Accounting for the cost-effectiveness of input and output and ease of use

Accounting for the unit price of the product can not only look at the selling price of a single product, to calculate the cost per ton of full-price feed additive, part of the low-priced additives to add a large proportion of the comprehensive use of the cost of a higher; at the same time, consider the mixing ease, powder products are easy to mix evenly in the diet, liquid products need additional supporting drinking water equipment, combined with their own farms to choose the dosage form of the conditions of the feeding equipment.

Trusted Suppliers and Solutions: Why Choose Lima Biotechnology-EffectMax® pig growth booster?

Lima EffectMax® piglet growth booster abandons the cheap raw material stacking model, the formula consists of four functional core components + piglet exclusive organic nutritional supplements scientifically compounded, all the raw materials have been screened by piglet feeding test, suitable for the digestion and absorption characteristics of the young pig, no antibiotics, prohibited hormone additives, and comply with the domestic anti-resistance-free aquaculture and pork export quarantine standards.

Four core efficacy ingredients

1. Biological active peptide: small molecule animal-derived active peptide, with extremely small molecular weight, can be directly absorbed by the villi of the small intestine without the need for gastrointestinal digestion and decomposition of piglets, which can quickly make up for the gap in protein absorption caused by the insufficiency of endogenous digestive enzymes in weaned piglets, and at the same time, as an immune peptide to activate the activity of the macrophages in the piglets to enhance the ability of the body to phagocytosis of germs, and to reduce the probability of bacterial diarrhea of the piglets at the level of body fluids and immunity. The active peptide can also be used as the substrate for beneficial bacteria proliferation, accelerating the colonization of intestinal lactobacilli and bacilli, and stabilizing the micro-ecological balance of intestinal tract.

2. Functional oligosaccharide: Fructooligosaccharides and mannan oligosaccharides are used in the combination of compounding, which are not decomposed by gastric acid and endogenous enzymes of piglets, and can directly reach the hindgut to selectively proliferate the beneficial bacterial flora, inhibit the adhesion of conditionally pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella to the intestinal wall, and block the colonization and propagation of harmful bacteria, so that it can reduce the dilatation caused by weaning stress at the root of the disease, and at the same time optimize the osmotic pressure of intestinal tract, alleviate the problems of bloating and indigestion of piglets, and adapt to the delicate intestinal environment of piglets. 3. Plant polysaccharides: Selected plant polysaccharides can be used for the treatment of diarrhea.

3. Plant polysaccharides: Selected Astragalus, Cortex Eucommiae, Licorice and other medicinal and food plants extract polysaccharides, different from cheap Chinese herbal medicine crushed raw materials, using low-temperature bio-extraction process to retain polysaccharide activity, both immune regulation, liver detoxification dual role, not only to enhance non-specific immunity of piglets, reduce the change of seasons, change of herds, vaccines before and after the stress reaction, and also to assist the liver to metabolize mycotoxins in the feed to reduce the burden of liver detoxification in the young piglets. It can also assist liver to metabolize mycotoxins in feed and reduce the burden of detoxification of young piglets.

4. Multi-category composite enzyme preparation: including amylase, protease, phytase, cellulase, four categories of composite enzymes, targeted decomposition of phytic acid, crude fiber, anti-nutritional factors contained in soybean meal, corn, bran in piglet diets, and disassembles large molecules of indigestible nutrients into glucose, free amino acids, to make up for the lack of digestive enzyme secretion of the piglet itself, greatly improve the utilization of the nutrients in diets, and reduce the waste of feed caused by the feces and discharges of undigested feeds. Reduce the waste of feed caused by the discharge of undigested feed with feces.

Five core functions of the product, accurately adapted to the feeding needs of piglets in the whole nursery cycle

1. Strongly adsorb mycotoxins, protect the liver and kidneys, and reduce the damage of toxin accumulation.

The unique plant polysaccharide+modified carrier compounding system of this product can physically adsorb many kinds of mycotoxins such as aflatoxin, vomiting toxin, zearalenone and other mycotoxins in the feed, and the adsorbed toxins can be excreted with the feces, so as to avoid the toxins from being absorbed by the intestines and entering into the blood circulation of the piglets, and to greatly reduce the toxin metabolite deposition in the liver and kidneys, and alleviate the pressure on the liver to detoxify, so as to prevent problems of redness and swelling of the vulva of the piglets, damage to liver and kidneys, growth stagnation and so on, which are caused by mycotoxins. It eliminates the problems of redness and swelling of vulva, liver and kidney damage, and growth stagnation caused by mycotoxins. Especially when it is used in the high temperature and high humidity season in the south and during the high incidence of corn raw material mold, it can effectively avoid the risk of mass piglet morbidity and mortality caused by mycotoxins, and solve the pain point of difficult to control the raw material mold in self-feeding pig farms.

2. Regulate intestinal microecology, greatly reduce the incidence of piglet diarrhea.

Relying on the synergy of biological active peptide + oligosaccharide, it can continuously optimize the structure of intestinal flora of piglets, promote the targeted proliferation of beneficial bacteria, suppress the reproduction of harmful pathogenic bacteria, and improve the function of intestinal barrier. Under the same feeding environment, the incidence of bacterial and stress diarrhea decreases by more than 50% in weaned piglets with this product added throughout the whole process. In pig farms with high incidence of diarrhea after weaning, the watery diluted stools of piglets can be quickly converted into shaped feces, and the feeding quantity of piglets steadily increases within one week of weaning, which completely improves the common disease of the industry that “weaning is dilution, and dilution is loss of fat”; long-term feeding can repair the damaged intestinal flora; long-term feeding can repair the damaged intestinal flora, and improve the function of intestinal barrier. Long-term feeding can repair damaged intestinal villi, increase the area of nutrient absorption, and strengthen the foundation of weight gain from the digestive side.

3. Relieve all kinds of stress and strengthen piglets' own immunity level.

The five major scenarios of weaning, group change, seasonal change, vaccine immunization and feed change are the high incidence nodes of piglet stress, which will cause the immunity of piglets to fall off a cliff and the feed intake to plummet. After feeding, the piglets will face various kinds of stress and have a smooth transition, the decrease of feed intake during the stress period will be controlled within 5%, the overall morbidity rate of piglets in the whole cycle will be decreased by more than 50%, and the use of antibiotics will be reduced, which is in line with the requirements of the policy of no-antibiotic culture.

4. Enhance the nutrient absorption rate and realize stable weight gain of piglets by 7%~12%.

Compound enzyme + small molecule active peptide combination maximizes the release of latent feed nutrients, so that piglets can obtain more essential nutrients for growth under the same intake, Limato regional pig farms measured: from the first day of weaning piglets continue to be added to the 35kg turnout, the average weight gain of piglets in the same feeding cycle increased by 7% to 12%; under the same premise of the weight of the pen, the piglets can be transferred to the group standard weight in advance of 10-15 days to shorten the nursery feeding cycle and reduce the cost of enclosure occupancy. This shortens the nursery feeding cycle and reduces the cost of enclosure occupancy and water and electricity consumables. For example, the average age of weaned piglets at 28 days old is 30kg at 68 days old, but after adding EffectMax®, the average age of weaned piglets can reach the standard at 53-58 days old, which accelerates the growth of piglets.

5. Optimize feed conversion rate and save feed consumption by 6%~8%.

Due to the improvement of intestinal absorption efficiency, feed anti-nutritional factors are decomposed, mycotoxin loss reduction, piglet ineffective feed consumption is greatly reduced, the overall loss of feed in the nursery period decreased by 6% ~ 8%, self-feeding and full-price feed farms can be intuitively seen in the feces fine, feed residues greatly reduced; feed cost reduction directly compressed the feeding input of a single piglet in the fluctuation of raw materials, corn, soybean meal prices rise cycle, reduce feed consumption. In the cycle of fluctuating price increase of raw material corn and soybean meal, the economic benefit of reducing feed consumption is especially prominent, which effectively improves the net profit of piglet nursery stage breeding. In addition, the natural plant ingredients in the product can also improve the flavor of piglet carcass meat, and lay a good foundation for the quality of subsequent fattening pig meat in advance.
