Target release acidification to enhance performance

摘要

Changes in animal nutrition and livestock production by availability of raw materials, consumer concerns, regulatory issues and profit analysis have encouraged pig producers to review the composition of feed. Unfortunately, there has also been a resultant return in intestinal diseases; enteritic, diarrhoea, dysentery, colibacillosis and salmonella that were less seen before. Producers are now faced with new challenges; reformulations of the feed, developing an antibiotic free production system, while maintaining cost effective growth rates.
