The price of protein raw materials is soaring, we offer a plan to reduce the cost of nursery feed!


【Industry background】

Since the beginning of spring in 2022, feed enterprises and breeding enterprises have faced severe external challenges!


Status 1: The operating profit of feed enterprises is squeezed again!

  • Soybean meal prices skyrocketed, fish meal prices also rising (43 soybean meal was 707 USD/ton, 46 soybean meal was 738 USD/ton, and fish was 1870-1917 USD/ton), and the cost of nursery feed increased by 16-24 USD/ton

  • The price of feed can only be increased by 8-16USD / ton

Status 2: Breeding enterprises continue to suffer deep losses!

  • Pig prices fell again after the Spring Festival consumption season (the price of fat pigs dropped from 2.5 USD/kg to 1.9 USD/kg)

  • The rise in feed prices has led to a further increase of 0.1 USD/kg in breeding costs (2.5-3 USD/kg for breeding cost)

It is imperative to reduce the amount of fish meal and soybean meal and reduce the cost of pig feed formulations!


【 Nutrition measures to reduce formula cost】

(1)Protein raw materials alternative plan(high-quality and low-priced raw materials instead of high-priced raw materials)

  • Practice has proved that cotton meal, rapeseed meal, DDGS and other miscellaneous meals or by-products have low digestibility and many anti-nutrient components, which have adverse effects on the health and production performance of pigs. Therefore, they cannot effectively replace fish meal and soybean meal in education and maintenance materials.

  • Based on the gradual deepening of the industry's understanding of the characteristics of fishmeal, more and more functional proteins and nutritional technologies to replace fishmeal have been developed and applied. Substituting fishmeal to reduce formulation costs has become a key measure

(2)High-efficiency low-protein diet plan (reduce protein level, reduce the amount of fish meal, soybean meal, etc.)

  • The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs issued the "Working Plan for Substituting Corn and Soybean Meal in Feed" with clear instructions to establish a technical system for formulating high-efficiency and low-protein diets for representative breeds such as pigs and broilers,and reduce the amount of protein raw materials by reducing protein levels.

  • The key points of high-efficiency and low-protein diet technology: On the one hand, improve the digestibility of feed protein; On the other hand, it reduces the intestinal damage of animals and strengthens the functional components of post-damage repair, and improves the digestion ability of animals.

【 Recommended Plan of Mytech】
  • Option 1: Functional protein raw materials directly replace high-priced fish meal to reduce formula cost

Enzymatically hydrolyzed functional protein directly replaces fish meal, the nutritional level remains the same, with the formula cost is reduced by 3 USD.

  • Option 2: Reduce the level of feed protein, optimize the combination of protein raw materials, and reduce the cost of formula

Optimize the combination of enzymatically hydrolyzed functional protein, fish meal and soybean meal, the relative value of SID Lys is reduced by 5% (absolute value is reduced from 1.3% to 1.25%), the dosage of Met, Trp and Thr is appropriately adjusted to keep the same ratio, and the formula cost is reduced by 6 USD

【 Principle of our recommended plan 】
  • Enzymatically hydrolyzed functional protein is rich in small molecular active peptides to promote intestinal health, improve digestion and absorption capacity, and increase the apparent digestibility of nutrients (dry matter, organic matter, protein) in the production of piglet feed by more than 5%

( 1 ) Promote intestinal growth and development

(2) Decreased intestinal epithelial permeability (enhanced tight connections between cells)

(3) Reduce intestinal inflammation

(4) Improve the antioxidant capacity of intestinal cells


【 Application Case of our Solution 】
  • Option 1: Application Case

  1. Program composition: 2% enzymatic hydrolyzed functional protein in the nursery feed will reduce the imported fish meal by the same amount , and the formula cost will be reduced by 3 USD/T

  2. Application advantages: reduce intestinal damage, improve digestion and absorption capacity, and increase the total amount of absorbable protein by 0.84%

3. Evaluation of pigs: 60 healthy nursery pigs ( 34-55 days old ) were divided into control group and experimental group, each group had 5 repeated pens, and each pen had 6 piglets . The piglets are paired to ensure that the two groups of pigs and the housing conditions are basically the same

4. Application effect: the daily feed intake of the new program increases by 35g/d , and the daily weight gain increases by 20g/d


  • Option 2: Application Case

  1. Program composition:Add 1 % enzymatic hydrolysis functional protein in the nursery feed to reduces 1% fish meal and 1.5% soybean meal, and then supplements 1.5% corn , reducing the formula cost by 6 USD/T

  2. Application advantages: reduce the intestinal damage of suckling piglets, improve the intestinal digestion and absorption capacity, improve the amino acid digestibility of diet feed in terminal ileum by 5%, and increase the absolute value of SID Lys by 0.016%

3. Pig herd for assess: 64 healthy piglets ( 37-70 days old ) are divided into control group and test group, each group has 4 repeated pens, and each pen has 8 piglets to ensure the basic conditions of the two groups of pigs and pens are consistent

4. Application effect: the feed intake of the new program increases by 40g/d , and the daily weight gain increases by 22g/d


Enzymatic hydrolysis of functional protein improves the intestinal health of piglets ,and improves digestion and absorption ability! By the nutritional program of directly replacing fish meal or reducing the protein level, on the basis of ensuring or even improving the quality of the feed, the cost of the formula for nursery feed can be reduced by 3-8 USD/ton!
