Weaned piglets feed after acidification

Piglets are piglets that are born from birth to 20 kilograms, divided into suckling piglets and weaned piglets. Now raising pigs, piglets are weaned 4 to 5 weeks old. After early weaning of piglets, the source of lactic acid is stopped, and the secretion of hydrochloric acid is very small. At the same time, the protein and minerals in the feed are combined with acid, resulting in decreased acidity in the intestine, decreased formation of pepsin, and reduced protein digestion. The incompletely digested feed provides nutrients for the reproduction of bacteria in the small intestine, causing intestinal dysfunction, causing a decrease in feed intake of weaned piglets, which can lead to fulminant diarrhea and death of piglets. Therefore, the acidified agent should be added to the feed of the weaned piglets for acidification.

The specific method is:

1. Add 1% to 3% of citric acid, lactic acid, fumaric acid or malic acid to the piglet drinking water and diet. Use citric acid as the best so that the pH of the feed is 5, which can effectively reduce Escherichia coli. And the growth of anaerobic bacteria.

2. Evenly adding appropriate amount of dilute hydrochloric acid to the piglet feed can lower the pH value, enhance the activity of pepsin, increase the digestibility of the piglet, and have a certain inhibitory effect on the strain, which can increase the lactic acid in the duodenum and reduce it. The number of E. coli.
