Weaned Pig Additives
Functional Nutritional Premix for Post-Weaning Piglets
Advanced Gut Health, Feed Efficiency & Nursery Stability System
Post-weaning is widely recognized in swine production science as the most sensitive nutritional transition phase, typically occurring within the first 14–21 days after weaning.
According to NRC (2012) Swine Nutrient Requirements and EFSA feed safety guidance, newly weaned piglets commonly experience:
- 24–72h sharp reduction in voluntary feed intake
- Intestinal villus atrophy and reduced nutrient absorption capacity
- Gut microbiota destabilization and pathogen overgrowth (e.g., E. coli proliferation)
- Increased incidence of Post-Weaning Diarrhea (PWD)
- Significant within-pen weight variation affecting uniformity at marketing stage
These combined stressors directly lead to:
- Higher medication cost
- Lower feed conversion efficiency
- Reduced survival and batch uniformity
- Delayed market weight attainment
Functional Objective of This Premix
This product is designed as a multi-functional nutritional recovery system targeting the three core failure points in weaned piglets:
- Intestinal structural damage (villus recovery)
- Digestive enzyme insufficiency (nutrient digestion gap)
- Microbiota instability (pathogen overgrowth risk)

Mechanism-Based Formulation
This premix is built on a three-layer functional architecture.
Vitamin Functional System
Vitamin A
Supports intestinal epithelial regeneration and villus structural recovery after weaning stress
Vitamin D3
Regulates calcium-phosphorus metabolism and supports immune modulation in gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT)
Vitamin E
Reduces oxidative stress induced by weaning-related inflammatory response
B-Complex Vitamins (B1, B2, B6, B12, Niacin)
Enhances mitochondrial energy metabolism and stimulates early feed intake recovery
Probiotic Stabilization System
Core strains:
- Bacillus subtilis
- Bacillus licheniformis
- Selected Lactobacillus spp.
Total viable count:
≥ 2.0 × 10¹⁰ CFU/g
Functional mechanisms:
- Competitive exclusion of pathogenic bacteria (E. coli, Salmonella spp.)
- Organic acid production for intestinal pH regulation
- Restoration of microbial diversity during post-weaning transition
Processing stability:
Spore-forming Bacillus strains maintain activity under pelleting conditions (80–85°C, short conditioning time)
Multi-Enzyme Digestive Support System
Designed to compensate for immature endogenous enzyme secretion in weaned piglets.
Protease (50,000 U/g)
Enhances protein digestion efficiency and reduces undigested protein fermentation → lowers ammonia and gut irritation risk
Amylase & Lipase
Improve starch and fat digestion for faster energy availability during feed transition
Xylanase / β-Glucanase
Degrades NSPs in corn–soybean and wheat-based diets → reduces digesta viscosity and improves nutrient absorption
