Acid preparations reduce viral diarrhea, sparking another wave of discussion on the Weiwei Forum.
On June 5–6, 2025, the third Weiwei Forum grandly opened at the Huajun Junyue Hotel in Huadu, Guangzhou. Initiated by Dr. Yue Longyao, founder of Weiwei Nutrition, and co-organized by Guangdong nuacid and several other entities, the forum brought together technical leaders from China Agricultural University, Sichuan Agricultural University, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Huazhong Agricultural University, South China Agricultural University, Hunan Agricultural University, Qingdao Agricultural University, as well as global industry leaders including Muyuan, Wens, New Hope, Haida, Hefeng, Yangxiang, Cargill, and Anyou. Together, they focused on a core challenge facing the livestock and feed industries: the deep integration of precision nutrition and healthy farming. The event was further elevated by the presence of prominent figures from academia and industry; Researcher Jiang Zongyong, the principal author of China’s nutritional requirements for lean-type pigs, offered on-site guidance, while Professor Che Lianqiang, director of the Nutrition Research Institute at Sichuan Agricultural University—a national key discipline in animal nutrition—chaired the sessions, generating significant anticipation for the conference.
Following Researcher Hu Youjun, Chief Scientist of NIC at nuacid, who thoroughly presented “Lewis Acid–Base Electron Theory–Driven Acidified Feed for Bacteriostasis and Antiviral Activity” at the Second Weiwei Forum in 2024, a collaborative effort with Professor Xu Zhiwen’s team at the Animal Biotechnology Center of Sichuan Agricultural University in 2025 further explores cutting-edge applications of this technology in sow health, strengthening the intestinal barrier in piglets, and controlling viral loads. Amid mounting feed costs and dual pressures from disease prevention in the swine industry, Professor Xu Zhiwen’s team has innovatively introduced a synergistic “Precision Nutrition–Disease Prevention” dual‑pillar strategy. From a veterinary perspective, Professor Xu provides an in-depth analysis of emerging epidemiological characteristics and trends toward mixed infections among four major pathogens—PEDV (porcine epidemic diarrhea virus), PRRSV (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus), SVV (Seneca Valley virus), and PRV (pseudorabies virus)—in the context of routine African swine fever control, drawing on the latest research into the antiviral mechanisms of novel acidifiers.
