Embodiment approach 1

[0026] Implementation Mode 1: Polygonum cuspidatum cultivation and management technology

[0027] Polygonum cuspidatum is a perennial herb with a high growth density and a stem height of more than 2 meters. The underground rhizomes will survive the severe winter and re-germinate to grow new plants. One-time planting benefits for many years, which is unmatched by other forage planting The advantages. It will benefit in the same year of planting, and after the second year, it can enter the vigorous growth period of forage grass, and its output will increase exponentially. The specific cultivation techniques are as follows:

[0028] (1) Soil preparation and furrowing

[0029] For the cultivation of Polygonum cuspidatum, it is advisable to choose the mountain ridge fields and cultivated land with rich water resources, deep soil, loose texture and fertile soil. One month before planting, plow and dry the soil, and then apply 2000kg of organic fertilizer, 200kg of superpho...

Embodiment approach 2

[0044] Implementation mode 2: Harvesting and management technology of stems and leaves of Polygonum cuspidatum

[0045] (1) Harvesting method

[0046] Polygonum cuspidatum generally begins to emerge in late March when the ground temperature is stable above 10°C. The tender bamboo shoots that have just grown from the ground grow fast, reaching about 50 cm in about 15 days. It enters a vigorous growth period from April to May, and stops growing after reaching the maximum height in early June (the growth height of the seedlings in the current year is not as high as that in the second year).

[0047] The tender stems and leaves of Polygonum cuspidatum are used as feed for cattle and sheep. Because Polygonum cuspidatum not only has a strong ability to regenerate stems and leaves, but also underground rhizomes will germinate new plants from the ground from time to time, so it can be harvested 3 to 4 times a year, that is, in May, June, July, and August. Once, according to the gr...

Embodiment approach 3

[0052] Embodiment 3: Feeding palatability test

[0053] This experiment solves the problem of whether cattle and sheep eat Polygonum cuspidatum, so as to prove whether Polygonum cuspidatum can be used as feed.

[0054] Experiment site: Anhui Institute of Science and Technology Experimental Animal Breeding Base. Experimental animals cattle, sheep. The source of feed for Polygonum cuspidatum is the production field of Polygonum cuspidatum in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Garden of Anhui Institute of Science and Technology (more than 1 mu of land). From June 2013 to June 2014, the tender stems and leaves of Polygonum cuspidatum were intermittently harvested for feeding.

[0055] Cows and sheep are very fond of food every time they are fed. An adult dairy cow can be fed up to 15 catties at a time, an adult beef cow can be fed up to 20 catties at a time, a young sheep can be fed up to 3 catties at a time, and an adult sheep can be fed up to 5 catties at a time. They can ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an animal husbandry feed, and particularly relates to a nutrition and health-care feed for breeding cattle and sheep adopting a medicinal and edible plant "giant knotweed rhizome". According to the present invention, the giant knotweed rhizome is used as an edible feed for cattle and sheep; the edible feed is characterized in high biomass yield, high safety, good palatability and high basic nutritional value, and has a prominent health-care function, such that the edible feed is a pollution-free feed. As an edible feed, the giant knotweed rhizome is simple in cultivation technique, long in feeding period and convenient in usage. The giant knotweed rhizome is a treasure, the repeatedly-cut tender stems on the ground are mainly used as green fodder for feeding cattle and sheep; old stems subjected to drying, powdering and storage are also available as supplements for concentrated food; underground rhizomes can be also processed into feed additives. By using the giant knotweed rhizome as the cattle and sheep feed, the feed has unique characteristics of being nutritional, healthy, delicious and safe, and can reduce reliance on chemical additives. The feed has very important significance for the development of efficient, high quality and safe ecological breeding.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to animal husbandry feed, in particular to a nutritional and health-care feed for cattle and sheep by using the medicinal and edible plant "polygonum cuspidatum". [0002] Background technique [0003] Modern people are increasingly pursuing the concept of health care. "Medicine and food are of the same origin, medicine and food are the same, and medicine and food are used together" has become a concept of health preservation. Using medicinal plants as a diet to nourish the body has become a hot topic and focus of attention. The research on this is getting more and more in-depth. In animal breeding, especially herbivorous animals, cattle and sheep can also use medicinal and edible plants as nutritional and health-care feed, and the use is more convenient and the effect is more obvious. [0004] When people develop and utilize health-care medicinal and edible plants, they often start with animals as test materials in advance, and...
