Why is allicin added to feed

In order to improve the palatability of feed and promote food intake

Allicin has fragrance and can eliminate the adverse effects of drugs and other substances in feed, thus improving the palatability of feed. In addition, most animals, especially fish and poultry, like the smell of allicin. Shrimp and pigs will also like it after 2-3 days of acclimatization. Thus, allicin can stimulate an animal's sense of smell and taste, improve their appetite and increase the animal's food intake.

Enhance the immune function of the body and prevent and cure diseases

It is well known that cell senescence is caused by a decrease in membrane permeability and the ability of cells to absorb nutrients. At the same time, intracellular wastes (metabolites) are not easily excreted out of the cell. Allicin contains a variety of active substances that activate cell membranes composed of glycolipids, again improving their permeability. As a result, cell metabolism is enhanced, vitality is improved and immunity is enhanced. Allicin can enhance immune regulation of macrophages and lymphocytes.

Disulfide and trisulfide in allicin can enter the cytoplasm through the membrane of pathogens and oxidize enzymes containing sulfhydryl groups into disulfide bonds, thus inhibiting cell division and destroying the normal metabolism of pathogens and cancer cells. A large number of foreign studies have shown that allicin can effectively kill the main pathogenic bacteria of freshwater fish, such as trichomonas fluorescein, mucoviruses, vibrio anguilla, Edwardii, Aeromonas, Luella, etc. It is especially effective for grass carp enteritis, mumps, rotten disease, scab, silver carp hemorrhagic disease and fish fulminant infectious disease. It is one of the better drugs for preventing and treating fish diseases.

It can inhibit and kill shigella fowleri, Pasteurella, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus albus, Proteus and pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can replace other antibiotics in the diet. Studies have shown that allicin is 80-90% effective against respiratory, digestive, meningitis and intestinal diseases. In addition, allicin can effectively kill aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus Niger, aspergillus fumigatus and other molds, prevent feed spoilage.

Improve production performance and reduce costs

Allicin can increase animal feed intake, improve animal immune capacity, reduce the occurrence of diseases, improve the function of various system tissues, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis of animals, regulate the secretion of various digestive enzymes in the body, so as to improve feed utilization rate and animal weight gain, improve efficiency.

Improve the quality of livestock and poultry products and protect the environment

Allicin can kill bacteria, reduce the amount of antibiotics, and solve the problem of drug residues in livestock and poultry products. Experiments have shown that allicin can inhibit harmful bacteria, promote the growth of probiotics such as Lactobacillus casei, prolong the shelf life of milk produced by cows fed with allicin feed, and make the milk taste more delicious. Allicin can also increase the flavor of broilers and layers, making eggs and chicken more delicious. According to other reports, allicin can effectively drive away mosquitoes, flies, mites and other harmful organisms, which is conducive to improving the production and living environment of livestock and poultry.
