Puerarin is the dried root of pueraria lobata,a leguminous plant, which is extracted by boiling,concentrating,purifying,and drying.Puerarin can effectively inhibit bacteria,anti-virus,anti- inflammation,anti-oxidation,and enhance immunity,to improve animal production performance,the health of the body,and the quality of animal products.
Pharmacological effects
Anti-bacteria and anti-virus
To protect animals from Staphylococcus aureus,E.coli,Aeromonas and other b acteria, and to improve the morphology and structure of intestinal epithelial cells; By inhibiting the attachment and internalization of the virus,blocking the production of viral nucleoprotein to chieve the antiviral effect.
Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidation
Enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes,scavenge oxygen free radicals, reduce oxidative stress damage,regulate lipid metabolism,inhibit the production of inflammatory factors and activation of NF- KB,effectively reduce the inflammatory response.
Protecting the liver
It can obviously reduce the activity of serum aspartate transaminase(ALT), serum alanine transaminase(AST)and the content of triglyceride(TG)and liver malondialdehyde(MDA),and has a protective effect on the liver injury caused by alcoholism.
Shelf life:24 months
Antipyretic and analgesic
Puerarin can inhibit the increase of body temperature by reducing the content of in flamm atory factors in blood, hypothalamus and hippocampus,and affecting the expression of heat stress- induced heat shock protein messenger RNA(HSP70 mRNA).The analgesic effect was achieved by inhibiting the release of inflammatory pain factors in serum and increasing the latent period of foot contraction.

Applied Research
Anti-virus Effect of Puerarin on Piglets Infected with PEDV

Histopathological structures of piglet intestines

Number of PEDV viruses
Research published in 2020 in Frontiers in Immunology by the Key Laboratory for Wuhan Polytechnic University Animal Nutrition and feed science shows that,puerarin could decrease the expression of N and M genes of PEDV in jejunum, ileum,mesenteric lymph node and colon,and inhibit the replication of PEDV,it reduced the diarrhea rate of piglets and the contents of IL-1β,IL-6,IL-8 and NF-KB in intestinal mucosa,improved the intestinal morphology of infected piglets and alleviated the decline of growth performance,the results indicated that puerarin had anti-virus and anti-inflammatory effects on piglets infected with PEDV.
Effects of Puerarin on lactation performance and serum antioxidant index in lactating sows
| Items | Control group | 葛根素 group |
| Total lactation of sows,kg | 190 | 218 |
| Suckling piglets ADG,g | 240.5 | 251.7 |
| IGF-Iin colostrum,μg/L | 170.09 | 187.67 |
| IGF-I in normal milk,μg/L | 176.05 | 195.11 |
| Serum prolactin PRL,ng/mL | 0.58 | 0.59 |
| Serum GH,ng/mL | 30.93 | 31.56 |

| Serum GSH-Px,U/mL | 648.92 | 700.88 |
The research study published in the journal of Animal Nutrition,in 2016,by the Institute of Animal Science
and Technology at Northeast Agricultural University,showed that Puerarin increased ADG in piglets and
milk production in sows,the levels of IGF-I in colostrum and normal milk were increased,and the
levels of prolactin and growth hormone in serum were increased.The activitie
