Abstract:
Pig Farming is India growing very fast and northeast part is very predominant in this. Even
though India has huge pig population but still there is lack of knowledge towards the best
management practices of pig farming. In India there is a time from March until September where
temperature got up to 45 degree and cause enormous effect on growth and well being of human
as well animal species. In dairy and Poultry sector various approaches are made to reduce the
impact of heat stress especially by manipulating diet with substitutes which can control or
eliminate heat stress. Alphacool is one such product marketed by Alphafacts health solution
BVBA which claimed to be effective in Heat stress. In this Trial study Alphacool is
supplemented in pig diet and two groups were measured for growth performance comparision
and feed intake related parameters. The Field Trial was done for 95 days and at end of trial it was
observed that group which was supplemented with Alphacool have higher body weight as well
daily gain as compare to the group which does not have Alphacool in diet. Hence it is
recommended that Alphacool (a herbal Suppliment) have beneficial effect in controlling heat
stress in Swine Species. |
