Abstract

The present study evaluated the performance of a polyherbal product, NATU LEAN, in comparison to Ractopamine, a widely used beta-agonist, in growing-finishing pigs. NATU LEAN is a blend of herbs like Trigonella foenum graecum, Garcinia cambogia, Azadirachta indica, and others, aimed at promoting lean muscle growth and detoxification. A trial was conducted at Asturias Farms in Philippines on 346 pigs divided equally into two groups. Results showed that NATU LEAN performed comparably to Ractopamine in terms of weight gain and feed conversion, with added benefits of better FCR, carcass yield, and minimal fat thickness.
