First, as a condiment and food attractant for pigs. Because pigs are addicted to sweets, 2% white sugar or 0.10% sucrose can be added to the opening diet of piglets to help piglets get through the feeding pass smoothly. In addition, adding an appropriate amount of sugar to the western medicine of the powder can also induce piglets to eat their own medicine.

Second, as a nutritional additive for pigs. According to the experiment, in the compound diet of growing and finishing pigs, the addition of 1.5% sucrose could increase the average daily gain of pigs by 8.72%, increase the feed conversion rate by 6.3%, and reduce the feed-meat ratio by 0.32. Adding saccharin of 60ppm to the diet of lactating sows can effectively prevent their anorexia and excessive fat loss, and increase the lactation rate by 8% and 10%. When feeding, you can first dissolve the sugar or saccharin in a small amount of water, and then mix the sugar solution into the feed.

Feeding 5% glucose water or concentrated sugar water to newborn piglets can not only prevent hypoglycemia caused by congenital malnutrition and improve their survival rate, but also replenish sugar in piglets. In addition, the acid produced in the process of sugar digestion can regulate the pH value of gastrointestinal contents of piglets and promote piglet digestion.
