Research Focus:
  • Nutritional modeling and precision feeding of pigs
  • Evaluation of the nutritional values of feedstuff in pigs
  • Antibiotic-free feeding strategies to improve intestinal health of weaned piglets
  • Nutrition for producing sows
  • • 

Nutrition to improve pork quality
 
Achievements
  • • Established the nutrient requirements and precision feeding strategies for commercial pigs in China, and participated in the formulation of the industry standard "Pig Feeding Standard" (2004), the group standard " Compound Feeds for Piglet and Growing-finishing Pigs " (2018), and the national standard "Nutrient requirements of swine" (2020).
  • • Clarified the underlying mechanism of weaning stress in piglets, developed nutritional strategies and feed-additive products to alleviate intestinal injury upon weaning, and further created a formula system for antibiotic-free feeds.
  • • Revealed the molecular mechanism of oxidative stress in growing-finishing pigs and its impact on pork quality, raising novel nutritional strategies to prevent possible damage of oxidative stress to the pigs and to improve pork quality, and created a technologic system for antibiotic-free pork producing.
  • • Created nutritional technologic system for hyperprolific sows. By using functional feedstuff including conditionally essential amino acids and isoflavone, the performance of gestating and lactating sows were effectively improved.
