GABA is a four carbon non protein amino acid, which widely exisets in vertebrates, planets, and microorganisms. It has the functions of promoting animal feeding, regulating endocrine, improving immune performance and animal.
Advantages:
Feature effect:
Improve growth: Improve the immunity and disease resistance of livestock and poultry, promote the release of growth hormone, avoid stress caused by malnutrition, decreased production performance, reduce the quality of animal products and disease resistance and other adverse reactions.
Application in pig:
1. The experiment selected 75 commercial pigs weighing about 45kg and
about 110 days old , half male and half female. Divide into 3 groups, each with 25 heads. The control group was fed with basic diet.
The experimental group was added with 50g and 100g/ Ton respectively.
The pre-feeding period was 7 days and the normal feeding period was 45 days

Experimental conclusion:
Adding GABA to feed significantly increase the feed intake
of pigs, reduce tail biting and fighting activities of pigs, improve feed conversion rate and reduce the impact of heat stress on pigs.
