Genistein is a kind of phytoestrogen. As an important hormone in animals, estrogen has a wide range of biological functions and affects the normal growth, development, and reproduction of animals. Genistein has a molecular structure similar to that of estrogen, and it can competitively bind to estrogen receptors to exert estrogen-like or anti-estrogenic functions.
1. Regulation on the growth of male livestock and poultry
Relevant experiments confirmed that after male broilers were fed genistein, the growth of cockscomb was accelerated, the daily gain was increased, the weights of breast and leg muscles were increased, the feed utilization rate was significantly reduced, and the protein utilization rate was significantly improved, but it had no obvious effect on female broilers.
2. Effects on the performance of laying poultry
Experiments show that a proper amount of genistein in the late stage of laying eggs can prolong the laying period and improve the laying rate, egg weight and feed conversion rate. Molecular biology studies have shown that genistein can significantly promote the expression of the GH gene in poultry, increase GH content, and thus promote reproduction.
3. Effects on ruminants
Studies have shown that, in male buffalo and sheep, genistein treatment can cause a significant increase in testosterone levels, while increasing rumen microbial protein, total volatile fatty acid levels, and improving ruminant growth and productivity.

The application of genistein as a feed additive in animal production has just begun, so its mechanism of action is still unclear. Only a small-scale test has proved that genistein is derived from nature, is safe and has no side effects, has a variety of physiological functions, and It is a gene-initiated additive.
