Vine Tea, also known”Teng Cha” in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is a wild woody vine found in the mountainous regions of Southern China. Flavonoids are premium polyphenolic compounds extracted from the leaves of the plant, especially Dihydromyricetin (DHM), a unique flavonoid with powerful bioactivity. In animal nutrition, these flavonoids serve as a multi-functional feed additive. They act as a powerful natural antioxidant, a metabolic regulator, and a safe alternative to synthetic growth promoters. By protecting the liver and enhancing the immune system, vine Tea flavonoids also help animals reach their full genetic potential in growth and productivity.
Heat Stress Relief
Vine Tea Flavonoids are exceptionally effective at scavenging free radicals. For poultry and swine, these flavonoids reduce the oxidative damage caused by high environmental temperatures, preventing a drop in feed intake and maintaining growth rates during summer months.
Liver Protection
Vine Tea Flavonoids can enhance liver detoxification enzymes, mitigate the damage caused by mycotoxins commonly found in grain-based feeds, and prevent Fatty Liver Syndrome in laying hens and high-output dairy cows.
Natural Growth Promotion & Gut Health
By inhibiting pathogenic bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella), these flavonoids promote a healthy gut environment and reduce the incidence of “leaky gut” and diarrhea in piglets and calves. leading to improved nutrient absorption and a better Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR).
Improved Meat Quality
Vine Tea Flavonoids slow the oxidation of lipids and reduce the water loss in meat after slaughter, preserving color, flavor, and nutritional value for the end consumer.
