Mechanism of glycerol monolaurate in pigs

pig feed additive

Let us know monolaurate :

Glycerol monolaurate  is a commonly used feed additive, the main components are lauric acid and triglyceride, can be used as a nutritional supplement in animal feed of pigs, poultry, fish and so on.  monolaurate has many functions in pig feeding.

Mechanism of action of  monolaurate:

1.Promote growth and development

 MONOLAURIN can promote the growth and development of pigs and improve the utilization rate of feed. It can increase gastrointestinal mucus secretion and promote the decomposition and absorption of food in the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, laurin can also stimulate insulin secretion, improve feed utilization efficiency, and promote the growth and development of pigs.

2. Stimulate appetite

 Monolaurate can promote pig's appetite, increase food intake and improve the utilization rate of feed. This substance is broken down in the gastrointestinal tract into glycerol and lauric acid, which activates neurons and hormones that stimulate the appetite center and promote eating behavior.
3. Improve nutrient absorption
Glycerol Monolaurate can improve the absorption of fat, improve the type and number of intestinal microorganisms, increase the intestinal surface area, and promote the absorption and utilization of nutrients. At the same time, it can also reduce the problem of digestive enzyme secretion caused by gastrointestinal dyspepsia.
4. Affect meat quality and quality
Studies have shown that laurin can increase the fat content and muscle protein content of pig, and promote the improvement of meat quality. In addition, the substance can also affect the storage and quality of pork, extend the freshness period of meat, improve the taste and color of meat, and enhance the flavor and taste of meat.
