The invention relates to a health
powder for a farrowing area of a sow, and relates to a health
powder composition for newborn piglets and application thereof. Compositions provided herein comprise (in weight ratio) at least one
probiotic preparation (0.25%-5%), kaolin (40%-70%), and a mixture (30%-60%) of conventional additives (e.g., flavouring, absorbent,
desiccant and filler), where the at least one
probiotic strain preparation and kaolin are the major ingredients of the invention. At birth, piglets of modern pig species have a temperature regulation
system that is not sufficiently established and quickly lose their body temperature. By applying the
powder composition according to the invention, the temperature loss can be significantly reduced. The composition can also effectively reduce the influence of harmful microorganisms in the environment.
