This research addressed the topic of the use of growth promoter additives in swine, since feed is a fundamental part of pig production and in some cases it is not adequate for the final production required. The objective sought during this research was to identify what type of additives are used to improve performance in a livestock farm, in addition to knowing the importance they have in animal progress. The development of the research was based on the review of previously selected scientific documents to recognize what types of additives are used such as probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotics, and enzymes, and to know that each of the mentioned brings benefits such as weight gain, improve feed quality, prevent diseases and certain pathogens. According to the analysis carried out, it can be concluded that the use of additives is essential nowadays for swine production, providing nutritional values to the diets with which it was possible to observe a notorious improvement in the animals and the most significant thing is that these substances do not present residues in the final production.This research addressed the topic of the use of growth promoter additives in swine, since feed is a fundamental part of pig production and in some cases it is not adequate for the final production required.

El objetivo que se buscó durante esta investigación fue identificar qué tipo de aditivos son usados para mejorar el rendimiento en una explotación pecuaria, además de conocer la importancia que tienen en el progreso animal. El desarrollo de la investigación se basó en la revisión de documentos científicos previamente seleccionados para reconocer qué tipos de aditivos se utilizan como son los probióticos, prebióticos, simbióticos, y enzimas, y saber que cada de uno de los mencionados aporta beneficios como el aumento de peso, mejorar la calidad de alimentación, prevenir enfermedades y ciertos patógenos. De acuerdo al análisis realizado se puede concluir con que el uso de aditivos es primordial hoy en día para una producción porcina, aporta valores nutritivos a las dietas con las que se pudo observar una mejora notoria en los animales y de lo más significativo es que estas sustancias no presentan residualidad en la producción final.
