Tannic acid as a feed additive: improve animal health and meat quality
Cover the way of raising animals, and it is related to people's livelihood. To make livestock and poultry healthy and meat beautiful, the preparation of feed is crucial. Today there are tannic acids, which can add color to feed, improve animal health and meat quality, and have remarkable effects.
Tannic acid is also a natural substance. It is added to feed to protect the stomach of animals. When livestock and poultry eat, the stomach is easily disturbed by pathogens. Tannic acid has bacteriostatic properties and can prevent the growth of harmful bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmonella. For example, piglets in the pen often suffer from growth retardation due to gastrointestinal diseases. If tannic acid is added to the feed, the bacteria are difficult to invade, the stomach is reconciled, the food is actively eaten, and the growth is rapid.
Furthermore, tannic acid can promote the absorption of animal nutrients. Nutrients in the feed need to be absorbed through the intestines before they can be used by livestock and poultry. Tannic acid can optimize the microstructure of the intestines, increase the length of villi, and expand the area of absorption. Taking chicken feeding as an example, adding tannic acid to the feed, chickens have better intake of protein, carbohydrates and other nutrients, with shiny feathers and a strong physique.
As for the improvement of meat quality, tannic acid also contributes. It can reduce the oxidation of fat in meat. Livestock meat is stored for a long time, and fat oxidation causes odor and quality to decrease. Tannic acid has antioxidant properties, which can slow down this process and make the flavor of the meat last. And tannic acid can regulate muscle metabolism, increase fat content in muscle, and make the meat more tender and juicy. For pigs, fed with tannic acid, pork has delicate texture and mellow taste, which is favored by the market.
Looking at the whole process of breeding, tannic acid can help young animals resist diseases and grow steadily; in adult animals, it can improve their meat quality and gain benefits. It is actually a good product of feed additives and a good recipe that cannot be ignored by farmers. With its natural and efficient nature, it escorts animal health and meat quality improvement, and will surely be able to shine in the animal husbandry industry, help people's livelihood and promote the prosperity of the industry.
