The invention discloses application of
sodium butyrate in improving quality of queen bees, and belongs to the technical field of
biology and
agriculture. According to the method, starting from the direct environment of
queen bee development, namely the feeding group, the
intestinal mucosa nutrient sodium butyrate is added into the feed of the bee group, so that the
nutrition management of the feeding group is optimized, the
nutrition level of the feeding group is improved, and the feed
utilization rate of the feeding bee is improved, thereby providing higher-quality
nutrient substances for the development of the
queen bee; the quantity and quality of
royal jelly secreted by feeding bees are increased, so that the purpose of improving the quality of queen bees is achieved. In addition, the
sodium butyrate is good in safety when being used for feeding swarms, and does not generate negative effects on the queen
cell acceptance rate and the house output rate.
