Method for improving fiber digestibility of ruminants

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for improving fiber digestibility of ruminants. The method comprises the following steps: mixing tea tree oil and feed, enabling the ratio of the tea tree oil to the feed to be greater than or equal to 1mL / 5kg, and feeding the ruminants with the obtained feed added with the tea tree oil. According to the method, the tea tree oil is added into the feed, the structure of rumen microflora is adjusted through the tea tree oil, the proportion of beneficial microflora is increased, and beneficial bacteria (such as lactic acid bacteria) attached to fibers are increased, so that more fiber substances are degraded, and the digestibility of the ruminants to the fibers in the feed can be effectively improved; and the method has the advantages of being simple to operate, low in cost, high in safety and the like, shows a good application prospect, and has great significance in increasing the feed utilization rate and reducing the breeding cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for improving fiber digestibility in ruminants. Background technique [0002] Roughage is an important part of the diet of ruminants. However, the fiber content in roughage is very high. These fibers are difficult to be degraded or absorbed by ruminants. Therefore, how to effectively degrade and digest fiber is a major problem in promoting the growth and development of ruminants. . The traditional method is to silage edible forage such as rice straw, use microbial fermentation to destroy the fiber cell wall in the plant, expose nutrients, and produce some microbial protein at the same time to improve the utilization of fiber and promote the nutrition of ruminants absorb. However, this method has several disadvantages: (1) it takes a long time, and the average storage time of silage is about 60 days; (2) the steps are cumbersome and the quality is different. There are several steps such as bagging and storage...

Problems solved by technology

However, this method has several disadvantages: (1) it takes a long time, and the average storage time of silage is about 60 days; (2) the steps are cumbersome and the quality is different. There are several steps such as bagging and storage, and mistakes in any one of them will directly affect the quality of the finished product; (3) It is impossible to fundamentally increase the feed digestibility. The principle of silage is to use in vitro microorganisms to degrade fiber first, and the essence is to increase the microbial degradation time. , so that ruminants can degrade and utilize more fiber within a limited digestion time, and have not fundamentally improved the utilization rate of roughage such as forage grass by ruminants
