Abstract: 124(16-19 d)weaning pigs were divided randomly into five groups for different treatments,control group was fed basal diet,group 1,2,3,4 was fed basal diet fortified 0.2% Galacto-mannan-oligosaccharide,0.1%,0.2%,0.3% catechin.The experiment was designed to compare the growth performance and immune organ of weaning pigs of different groups.The results show that:Compare with control group,after the first week,the growth performance and immune organ of experiment groups was higher,but not significantly(P<0.05),but at the second week,the ADG was increase significantly(P<0.05),compare with the Galacto-mannan-oligosaccharide,the effect of catechin group was nearly,so the function of catechin was similar to Galacto-mannan-oligosaccharide.It could be use in the animal nutrition industry

Key words: Catechin, Weaning pigs, Immune organ
