Dextrose is often seen in pig farms, and in the pig industry, glucose powder is a sharp tool that can be used whenever sick and may have good results. Many pig farmers do not I don’t know the magical effect of glucose powder, so what is the role of feeding glucose powder to pigs?
1. Improve the flavor of feed and drinking water. Pigs like sweet taste. Adding 8% to 12% glucose to the pig's compound feed or drinking water can mask the unpleasant taste in the feed, improve the grade of the feed and stimulate the pig's appetite, ensuring good health under weaning stress conditions. Sufficient feed intake, rapid weight gain, and can reduce feed waste caused by pigs being picky eaters. Piglets that do not like to eat after weaning can add 8% to 12% glucose to the drinking water to effectively supplement the body's energy without affecting the growth of the piglets due to lack of food.
2. Improve the resistance of piglets. Glucose is a good energy and nutrient for animal cells, tissues, and organs. It is also an essential component of blood and can improve tissue metabolism and enhance the body's physiological activities. Adding 8% to 12% glucose powder to pig feed or drinking water can be quickly absorbed from the small intestine, increase physical fitness, supplement nutrition, thereby enhance resistance to infectious diseases and various diseases, and significantly reduce the incidence of pigs. , unexplained deaths were significantly reduced.
3. Rejuvenate the weak pig. Adding 8% glucose to the compound feed or drinking water of weak pigs can improve the flavor and taste of the diet and increase appetite. On the basis of strengthening feeding and management, it can promote the growth of piglets and help the thin piglets recover faster.
4. Increase the drug administration effect. A monosaccharide produced by hydrolysis of glucose starch. It is a colorless crystal, odorless, sweet, and has no incompatibility with commonly used drugs. Oral administration can be quickly absorbed from the small intestine, increase the body's energy, supplement nutrition, improve tissue metabolism, and enhance the body's physiological activities. When mixing ingredients and drinking water with medicine to prevent and treat pig diseases, pigs are picky by nature and are often reluctant to eat and drink well due to the smell of the medicine. If 15% of glucose powder is added at the same time to mask the taste of the medicine, it can increase the pigs' feed intake and drinking water, ensure that the pigs take a sufficient amount of prevention and treatment drugs, and increase the drug effect.
It can be seen from the above usage that the main function of using glucose is to replenish energy. It can be used when the appetite of the pigs is reduced or the digestive tract function is damaged to quickly replenish energy and restore the physical strength of the pigs. .
