Humic Substances in Swine Nutrition: AGP-Free Growth Performance and Gut Health | Humicore
Intensive commercial pork production faces two constant, competing operational pressures: maximizing feed efficiency to protect profit margins and mitigating environmental impacts, specifically toxic ammonia emissions. A pivotal peer-reviewed study published in the Journal of Animal Science investigated the systemic effects of supplementing pig diets with various standardized humic substances (HS).
The empirical data demonstrates that specific dietary humic and fulvic acid profiles function as highly effective, natural performance enhancers. By stabilizing the gastrointes
