“…The ADFI, ADG and FE were increased by 0.5 to 11.88%, 8.14 to 34.32% and 3.27 to 26.01%, respectively, in response to doses of Chinese herbal polysaccharides as well as their origin (Yuan et al 2006;Li et al 2009aLi et al , 2011. Their effect in promoting pig growth performance better than antibiotics has also been reported.…”

2014. Chinese herbs as alternatives to antibiotics in feed for swine and poultry production: Potential and challenges in application. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 94: 223Á241. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a long history of clinical practice, and its own theoretical framework focused on functions at the whole-body level. However, due to cultural differences, TCM has not been fully recognized in Western countries. With the recent development of the theory of whole-body systems biology and ''-omics'', there is a new opportunity to study TCM and to close the gap between TCM and Western medicine, because of the similarity in the theoretical foundations between TCM and whole-body systems biology. The uniqueness of TCM theory and practice is the approach to maintain and restore the body balance as a whole with no or little unfavourable side effects. Recent studies have also shown that Chinese herbs used as feed additives can modulate nutritional metabolism, immune responses, and intestinal health of food-producing animals, demonstrating good potential as substitutes for dietary antibiotics. Nonetheless, some issues need to be addressed before Chinese herbs can reach their full application. This article has critically reviewed recent progresses in scientific research of Chinese herbs as feed additives and their potential to replace dietary antibiotics. Possible challenges in future application for swine and poultry production are also discussed.

“…Furthermore, several supplemental polysaccharides, such as Astragalus polysaccharide and Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. polysaccharides, have been shown to improve the growth performance of young pigs (Yuan et al, 2006;Li et al, 2011). There is still little knowledge, however, of the possible benefits of AVP in weaned piglets.…”

“…(Yoshida et al, 1997). The rhizomes of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz are rich in sesquiterpenes, acetylenic, polysaccharides, and glycoproteins (Lee et al, 2007;Li et al, 2011). Glycoproteins in the AMK sample were the most prominent ingredients responsible for splenocyte stimulation and cytokine secretion (Lee et al, 2007).…”

“…Oral administration of AMK markedly enhanced antigen-specific immune responses (Kim et al, 2002a,b). Dietary supplementation with AMK polysaccharide improved the immune response by elevating the proliferation of Lactobacillus, mRNA expression and level of cytokines, and ameliorating the proliferation of lymphocytes and metabolic status in early-weaned pigs (Li et al, 2011). Atractylenolide I and acetylenic compound from AMK were found to be active compounds in different anti-inflammatory assays (Li et al, 2007).…”

The rhizome of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz (baizhu in Chinese, AMK) is a well-known traditional Chinese medicine that has long been used as a digestive and tonic. The experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of baizhu powder on the growth performance and immune function of piglets. Duroc × Landrace×Yorkshire piglets (n=72, half males and half females, 42 days of age, liveweight 14.82±0.17 kg) were randomly allocated to three treatments: control, control+AMK either ground (GMD=180 μm), or micronized (GMD=5.59 μm), for 30 days. The results showed that supplementation with micronized baizhu significantly increased average daily gain (ADG) (P<0.05) and decreased (P<0.05) the feed/gain and diarrhoea ratios compared with the control group. Pigs given 80 mesh baizhu had a lower (P<0.05) diarrhoea ratio than those fed the control diet. Supplementation with 80 mesh baizhu and micronized baizhu significantly increased (P<0.05) both concanavalin-(ConA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced splenocyte and peripheral lymphocyte proliferation, serum IgG, IL-1, and IL-2 concentrations (P<0.05) compared with the control group. In addition, supplementation with micronized baizhu significantly enhanced (P<0.05) PR-39 mRNA expression compared with the control group. The results indicate that baizhu could ameliorate metabolic status and regulate immune function to improve the growth performance of piglets, and that super-fine comminution may improve its medicinal efficiency.
