Feed intake is a key factor to ensure the full performance of animal production and an important prerequisite for improving animal production efficiency.

Therefore, as an inducement to feed animals, it is very important to apply a feed additive, that is, feed attractant in the diet to  stimulate the appetite of animals and improves the palatability of the feed.

There are many types of feed attractants, mainly including flavors (flavors, flavor enhancers), flavoring agents (flavoring agents, sour agents, sweeteners, salty agents and spicy agents) and aquatic feed attractants ( betaine, garlic powder etc.).

Different animal species have different taste buds and taste sensory organs, so taste preferences are very different, and taste sensations are also different, so the research on the behavioral habits and psychology of different animals is the basis for the development of animal food attractants.

Domestic and foreign studies have shown that pigs have a very keen sense of smell and taste, and the number of taste buds is about 3 times that of humans (see following table)
