Plant Extracts:Functions and Application Progress in Weaned Piglets

Abstract:

Plant extract(PE) is a term that refers to the extraction of one or more bioactive substances from natural plants using modern technology.With diverse biological functions such as antioxidation,antiinflammation,immune regulation,and antiviral activity,PE has garnered significant attention as a potential solution for enhancing the growth performance and intestinal health of weaned piglets.This paper presents an overview of recent research on the biological functions of PE and its application in weaned piglets.Additionally,it delves into the challenges encountered during the research and development (R&D) of PE,as well as the strategies proposed the subsequent development and implementation of PE products in the pig industry.
