Technical Name Researchdevelopment of phytogenics for food animals/ Beneficial effect of Bidens pilosa on gut microfloraanimal health
Project Operator National Chung Hsing University
Project Host 張力天
Summary
We first reported that Bidens pilosa (BP), an ediblemedicinal plant, suppress coccidiosisgut bacterial infection as evidenced by increased survival rate, better performance, gut pathologymicrobiota in chickens. In addition, combining with probiotics with anti-pathogenic bacteria activityorganic acids synthesis are used as novel natural growth promoters to replace antibiotic growth promoters.
Scientific Breakthrough
1.Natural anti-pathogenic phytogenics without drug-resistance
2.A natural growth promoter (NGP) that can replace the antibiotic growth promoter (AGP).
The above products account for 30 of the market for feed additives.
