Safe Meat Improver Developed

A kind of new and safe meat improver—MQI-1 (feed additive) is developed by Animal Science College, Zhejiang University using modern biochemical and animal nutritional method by mixing active components of plants with the substance with the function to control the second messager of animal through many times of feeding, slaughter trial and optimization.

The innovation of the feed additive is that it is for the first time to have a systematic study on effects of organic selenium on meat quality of different breeds of pigs and effects of cysteine on meat quality of growing pigs. The improver is able to improve both growth rate and lean meat rate of pigs with the function of meat quality improvement, safe without residue. Addition of 0.2% MQI-1 can increase 3.78%~7.8% of gain and decrease feed and weight ratio of 1.75%~9.1%.
