Dietary supplementation with saccharicterpenin decreases post-weaning diarrhoea. That was the outcome of recent Chinese research to find new ways of overcoming post-weaning diarrhoea. A research article, published in the Journal of Livestock Science earlier in 2023, concluded that supplementation with saccharicterpenin decreases diarrhoea incidence through decreasing the digesta pH values, increasing digestive enzyme activities, maintaining the balance of microflora, promoting the development
