The method and function of adding garlic to feed

Method

When adding a small amount of fresh garlic, the fresh garlic can be peeled and mashed, chopped or mashed by the mincing mechanism, and then the feed can be fully stirred and fed; when the dosage is large, the fresh garlic (without peeling) can first be mixed with the main ingredients of the feed (usually corn), and then crushed, which not only does not affect the crushing effect of the effective ingredients, but also can make the garlic mix evenly in the feed. The addition ratio is 1% to 5%.

Garlic (residue) dry powder is added to make garlic (residue, that is, the residue after oil extraction by steam distillation) into dry powder, and then added directly into feed or carrier to make premix and then added to feed. The proportion of addition in chicken feed is 0.2% / 1.5%, and that in pig and cattle feed is 0.5% / 1.5%.

When adding garlic water extract or alcohol extract, the water extract is evaporated to remove water; when alcohol extract is used, evaporation is used to remove alcohol. The former is added as 0.02% in chicken feed, 0.05% in pig and cow feed, and 0.03% in chicken feed and 0.05%-0.1% in pig and cow feed. The premix formed after the carrier absorbs garlic oil (extracted from garlic or synthetic) can be added to poultry according to 0.05% / 0.2% of feed, pigs and cattle to 0.1% / 0.2% of feed, and fish to 0.08% / 0.2% of feed.

Action

Adding peeled and chopped fresh garlic to broiler feed at a ratio of 3% to 5% can not only increase the appetite and meat quality of broilers, but also increase the daily weight gain of broilers; adding 0.2% dried garlic powder to chicken feed can increase the survival rate by 5.8% to 15.6%, and adding 2% garlic premix to laying chicken feed can increase the laying rate by 9.8%. When 2% garlic premix was added to the meat breeder feed, the laying rate could be increased by 5.6%. Feeding layers with allicin (extracted from garlic), organic germanium and selenium can not only increase the laying rate, but also prolong the peak period of egg production. Feeding garlic to breeder Roosters can make their libido exuberant, good semen quality and improve the fertilization rate of breeder eggs. Often feeding garlic to chickens can improve body resistance, enhance immunity and reduce the incidence of diseases, especially so that they are not prone to digestive system diseases. In addition, garlic can also be used to prevent and cure chicken pullorum, avian cholera and so on.

Feeding pigs with 3% garlic in the feed of lactating sows can increase their daily feed intake by more than 2 kg, and adding 2% garlic to the feed of piglets weaned for 15 and 25 days can increase their daily gain by more than 6.9%. The volatile sulfur compounds in allicin can emit a special smell of garlic and drive away mosquitoes' bite on feed or feces; allicin can also be transformed into allicin in pigs and enter the fecal tank after excretion with the urine to prevent the reproduction of mosquitoes and flies in feces and the growth of larvae, reduce the spread of disease, improve the survival rate of weaned pigs and improve the surrounding environment. In addition, allicin can also inhibit the metabolism of mold, kill Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus fumigatus and other molds in pig feed, and prolong the storage life of feed. Allicin can effectively kill many kinds of pathogenic bacteria, such as dysentery bacilli, Pasteurella multocida, Vibrio cholerae, typhoid bacillus, staphylococci, pneumococci, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella enteritis and so on. it can enhance resistance to viral diseases, replace some antibiotics in pig diets and promote growth. Moreover, garlic is cheap and has no drug residues, which can improve the flavor of animal products and improve the quality of meat.

Feeding cows with 3% or 5% garlic in cow feed can produce a good food attraction, increase the daily milk yield of each cow by about 2 kg, and reduce the daily consumption of concentrate by 0.8 kg.
