Reduction-and-Substitution Anti-Acid Strategy: Boldly Striving for Leadership, Decisive Battle in the 14th Five-Year Plan Era, Stirring Up Great Momentum
Guangdong nuacid has been awarded the national prize for “Outstanding Solutions in Reducing and Replacing Antibiotics/antibiotic-free Pig Farming”
The National Swine Technology Innovation Center is the first national technology innovation center in the agricultural sector approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology. As a national platform, how can we further align with the strategic national priorities of the swine industry and meat food safety, with the core mission of overcoming technological bottlenecks and reaching the ceiling of swine science and technology, while collaboratively enhancing the core competitiveness of the swine industry?
In the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan, to promote antibiotic substitution and reduction in feed and farming, minimize antibiotic residues and resistance, and ensure food and medication safety, the National Swine Technology Innovation Center, together with the National Engineering Research Center for Biological Feed Development, key laboratories of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and other institutions, solicited from across society numerous technical needs and solutions for reducing or eliminating antibiotics in swine production. Following rigorous multi‑stage expert selection, several feed‑based strategies for antibiotic reduction and replacement, submitted by Southwest University, Guangdong nuacid, and other organizations, were chosen, approved through final expert review, and presented at an expert validation symposium on antibiotic‑reduced and antibiotic‑free swine farming held in Chengdu on July 11, 2025.
Researcher Hu Youjun, Chief Scientist of Guangdong nuacid Biotechnology Co., Ltd., presented to experts at the National Swine Technology Innovation Center an “Application Plan for Acidic Preparations as Antibiotic Alternatives to Inhibit Gut Bacteria and Reduce Viral Load.” The presentation highlighted four core areas: the importance of acidic preparations following the ban on antibiotics; the selection and precise application of gut‑inhibiting acids; the selection and application of acidic preparations for reducing viral load; and research and development along with initial demonstration applications.
Following rigorous expert review and presentations of other projects, the conference officially awarded five prizes across first, second, and third place. The “Acidic Formulation Alternative to Antibiotics for Intestinal Bacteriostasis and Viral Load Reduction” proposal jointly submitted by Guangdong nuacid Company with Sichuan Agricultural University, Jiangxi Agricultural University, Foshan University, and other institutions stood out, tying for first place with a proposal from Southwest University. It was formally presented with the “Outstanding Solution for Reducing/Antibiotic-Free Swine Farming” award, earning this prestigious honor and being included in the National Swine Technology Innovation Center’s technical library. This award not only represents high recognition of nuacid’s biotechnological capabilities but also affirms its innovative achievements in the field of “reduced‑antibiotic/antibiotic‑free” swine farming.
