The Technology for Pig Feed Industrialization Has Achieved Major Breakthrough in China
China is the biggest country for pig raising and the second biggest country for feed production, and the feed production for pig accounts for more than 40% of the total feed production in the whole country.
The project of ˇ°Research and Extension on Key Technology of High Quality and Efficiency Pig Feed Industrializationˇ± organized by Professor Li Defa, College of Animal Science, China Agricultural University has gained major innovative results on key technology of pig feed industrialization, which explored ˇ°the Mechanism of Ideal Protein Promoting Protein Deposition in Pig Bodyˇ±, developed the technology of ideal protein mixed pig balancing ration and established a standard method to test biological value of amino acid in pig feed. On this basis, 7 kinds of feed components in typical pig feed and ileum digestibility of more than 60 kinds of common feeds were tested. Within 5 years, digestible energy, apparent of ileum and requirement of digestible amino acid in the periods of 3~8kg, 8~20kg, 20~50kg, 50~90kg of body weight were systematically studied. The first dynamics model for nutrition requirement in China has been established based on testing for lean meat growth index of typical commercial pigs in 5 regions including North China, South China, Northeast, Middle South Region and West South Region. Combined with previous research results, the first edition of ˇ°Pig Feeding Standard in Chinaˇ± was revised, pointing out the technology on stress resistant nutrition regulation and effects of ground degree of raw material, evenness of mixing, pelleting and puffing technique on quality of feed product were systematically studied and the parameters of processing technology of different types of feed product were determined. The experts organized by the Ministry of Education suggested after exam and acceptation that the achievements of this project reached international advanced level with strong utility and high technical maturation. The achievements have extended to 278 feed and pig raising enterprises in more than 30 provinces, cities and autonomous regions, accumulating extension 2.5216 million ton of different kinds of feed and realizing direct economic benefit 1500 million yuan, with significant social benefit.
