Mulberry-leaf-containing feed for healthy mutton sheep at fattening period as well as preparation method and application of mulberry-leaf-containing feed

Abstract

The invention discloses mulberry-leaf-containing feed for healthy mutton sheep at a fattening period. The invention further discloses a preparation method and application of the mulberry-leaf-containing feed for the healthy mutton sheep at the fattening period. Mulberry leaf powder is added into a traditional corn-soybean meal type sheep concentrated feed formula and the remixed feed for the mutton sheep at the fattening period meets all nutritional requirements on the growth of the mutton sheep and also remarkably improves body health conditions of the sheep; the fat content of carcasses is reduced; and the mutton quality is improved. A test proves that the daily gain, the daily intake and the feed-weight ratio of Hu sheep which eat the mulberry-leaf-containing feed are equivalent to those of a control group (which is fed by a traditional corn-soybean meal type sheep concentrated feed); the digestion rate of organic matters is improved; the organ index of livers is greater than that of the control group; the content of total cholesterol in blood, the content of triglyceride and the content of high-density lipoprotein of blood are reduced; the fat content of the carcasses is remarkably lower than that of the control group; the muscle tenderness is increased, the water holding capacity is slightly higher than that of the control group; and the content of calcium and phosphorus is increased, and the increasing amount of phosphorus reaches a remarkable level.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal feed, in particular to a mulberry-containing feed for healthy mutton sheep in the fattening period, a preparation method and application thereof. Background technique [0002] In the process of developing intensive production of mutton sheep breeding, in order to maximize the production level of animals and increase economic benefits, the production techniques and technical measures adopted in the breeding process usually deviate from the ones adapted to in the process of animal evolution. Environmental conditions and their normal physiological functions have the opposite effect, resulting in slowed animal growth and development, reduced production performance, immunity, and product quality, and even caused animal death in severe cases. For example, after the mutton sheep have changed from traditional free-range grazing to centralized feeding in houses, great changes have taken place in the way and content o...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, mutton sheep have very little access to green feed after being raised in barnyards. In actual production, sheep are often fed corn, rice stalks and hay, and synthetic minerals and vitamins are added. Sufficient intake or intake of active ingredients in green feed

Therefore, some modern breeding methods and technical measures have become stressors at the same time, and their existence has brought great stress to animals and a great threat to the health of animals; at the same time, fat deposition in sheep body speed up, meat quality deteriorates
