There are many benefits of adding allicin to feed.

Allicin is a kind of feed additive which is widely used in recent years. Because of its safety, cheap, green, non-toxic and no residue, allicin is favored by the majority of breeding owners. Adding appropriate amount of allicin to the diet has an inestimable effect on the growth of piglets.

Allicin contains natural garlic oil and has a strong smell of garlic. Allicin oil is mainly composed of diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide, the total content is greater than or equal to 80%, has strong antibacterial activity, and has a significant effect on dysentery and diarrhea caused by dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Pneumonia and bronchitis caused by Pasteurella. Allicin has a pure and natural strong flavor, which can replace other flavor agents in feed. Adding 50ppm~150ppm allicin to feed can improve the peculiar smell of feed, stimulate piglets to produce strong food inducement effect, increase their appetite and feed intake, and then increase their net weight.

The physical and chemical properties of allicin mainly depend on garlic oil. Light yellow to brownish red liquids can cause deterioration when they encounter strong acids, strong oxidants and ultraviolet rays.

Adding allicin to piglet feed can improve the flavor and quality of meat and make it thicker. The method of adding allicin to piglet feed is simple and easy, as long as the garlic is soaked and peeled, sliced, dried (or sun-dried), and then crushed. The volatile sulfur compounds in allicin can drive away the bites of mosquitoes and flies on feed and feces. Allicin is transformed into allicin under the action of enzymes in pigs and then excreted into the dung pit, which can prevent the reproduction of mosquitoes and flies in feces and the growth of larvae, reduce the harassment of mosquitoes and flies to animals, reduce the spread of disease, and improve the surrounding environment.

The addition of allicin can keep the flavor of the original feed basically fixed, although it will release a special smell, but a large number of experimental results show that piglets prefer the smell of garlic. 25% allicin was added to the diet of 20-day-old healthy and disease-free piglets and 200 grams per ton of allicin was added to the control group, and antibiotics were added to the control group. the results showed that compared with the control group, the daily gain of the allicin group increased by 16.5%. The feed-weight ratio decreased by 13%, and there was no significant difference in feed intake, indicating that allicin can promote the growth of piglets. Allicin can obviously increase the weight gain and improve the feed reward.

Allicin can also be used to control many pig diseases, such as pinworm, ascariasis, paratyphoid, gastroenteritis, rheumatism and tetanus.
