Composite natural product preparation in application of starter feed for calves

Abstract

The invention relates to a composite natural product preparation in the application of a starter feed for calves. The active components of the composite natural product preparation are prepared from the following natural plants: fructus evodiae, ficus carica L, fruit of cubeb litsea tree, elecampane, scutellaria baicalensis, dried tangerine or orange peels, fructus forsythia, honeysuckle flowers, rhizoma atractylodis, semen raphani, fingered citron, hawthorns, poria cocos, medicated leaven, rhizoma pinellinae praeparata, Chinese yam and semen coicis. The test reveals that after the starter feed is used for feeding calves under a high-temperature hygrothermal environment, the growth performance of calves is not less than that by a corn-soybean meal type feed; the good health condition of calves can be kept; the cultivation level of calves at the early stage in southern part can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of calf feed, in particular to a starter product specially used for raising calves in a high-temperature and humid environment, which improves the growth and health of calves. Background technique [0002] Calf starter is a mixed concentrate specially designed to meet the needs of calves before and after weaning. When making it, it emphasizes palatability, digestibility and comprehensive nutrition. The quality of calf starter is critical to the implementation of early weaning. [0003] Essential nutrients in starters are crude protein, energy and fiber. Commonly used sources of crude protein are soybean meal, etc. Other protein sources are also widely used, such as flax meal, cottonseed meal, rapeseed meal, heat-treated soybeans or crushed and extruded soybeans; energy sources are corn, wheat bran, etc.; fiber sources Commonly used roughage is crushed hay, and others include cottonseed husks, beet pulp, bran, distil...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In practice, it is found that compared with dairy calves in the northern region, the calves of dairy and beef cattle raised in the south have lower birth weight, lower feed intake, lower degree of domestication, and slightly poorer adaptability to artificial feeding. At the same time, due to the high temperature and humidity characteristics of the environment in the southern region, calves are susceptible to intestinal parasites, causing diarrhea and other problems, resulting in high mortality, which limits the effect of calf starter products
