Animal Growth Effect Study
Plant extracts work through single or synergistic interactions between their active ingredients to increase feed intake, promote nutrient digestion and absorption, stimulate the secretion of growth-related hormones, and promote bone tissue growth, thereby promoting animal growth. They are natural, safe, have few side effects, and are not easily tolerated, making them the preferred ingredient in alternative growth promoter feed additives. Lifeasible can help you select plant extract combinations with positive animal growth effects by evaluating the impact of plant extracts on animal growth.
Our Services for Animal Growth Effect Study
- Improve feed palatability, increase animal feed intake
Food intake is a key factor in regulating the growth performance of animals, while palatability is an important factor in determining the acceptance of feeds by animals and influencing the amount of food intake. We provide testing of aromatic substances such as aldehydes, phenols, and aromatic hydrocarbons in plant extracts to help you improve the palatability of feeds by using plant extracts as flavoring agents and to stimulate peripheral receptors such as olfactory and gustatory senses of animals to promote animal feed intake.
- Promote digestion and absorption of nutrients
Plant extracts have the effect of promoting the secretion of digestive fluid and digestive enzymes, regulating intestinal flora, and improving intestinal physiology and functional status, which is conducive to the digestion and absorption of nutrients and the maintenance of body growth. We can help you evaluate the ability of the plant extract to promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients in animals by detecting flavonoids (promote the secretion of growth hormone), alkaloids (inhibit the activity of cholinesterase), organic acids (improve the quality of meat), polysaccharides (improve immunity), dietary fibers, oligosaccharides, polyphenols and other components of plant extracts that are beneficial to prebiotics.
- Promote the secretion of growth-related hormones
Animal growth and development are achieved through a combination of adequate external nutrient supply and internal hormones. We can test the status of plant extracts to promote the secretion of growth hormone (GH), insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and thyroid hormones (THs) to evaluate their effects on regulating growth and metabolism, influencing the endocrine system, and promoting growth.
- Promotion of bone tissue growth
The normal development of bone tissue is closely related to the growth of the organism, and plant extracts can promote bone mineralization and maintain the integrity of the skeleton to prevent bone loss. We can test the indicators of vitamin D (promoting bone mineralization) and osteogenic activity (promoting osteoblasts) in plant extracts to evaluate the effect of the target plant extracts in promoting bone development and maintaining normal growth.
Plant extracts have the advantages of being widely available, safe, efficient, and natural, making them a very promising growth promoter. Lifeasible can help you analyze the effects of plant extracts on animal growth from various aspects, and assist you in the scientific use of plant extracts as feed additives to better promote the sustainable development of modern animal husbandry.
