Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a deoxyribonucleic acid (dEB) regulator for a low-protein diet for growing and fattening pigs. Background Art

[0002] Promoting low-protein, low-soybean meal diversified diets is the main way to reduce costs and increase efficiency in animal husbandry. Pig feed consumption accounts for more than 40% of China's total feed consumption in the livestock industry, and is the main source of soybean meal consumption. At present, soybean meal for feed is highly dependent on imported soybeans, and it is urgent to build a technical system for the formulation of low-protein, low-soybean meal diversified diets for pigs.

[0003] The precise nutrition system of low-protein and low-soybean meal diets, such as energy-nitrogen balance, net energy requirements, and digestible amino acid balance, has been extensively studied and applied. However, there are few studies on the electrolyte balance (dEB) of low-protein diets. In nutrition, electrolytes refer to anions and cations that are stable and unchanged during metabolism. Electrolytes in animal body fluids are mainly involved in maintaining osmotic pressure, regulating acid-base balance, and controlling water metabolism, so that the metabolism of nutrients is in a suitable environment. The formula for calculating dietary electrolyte balance (dEB) is: the main cations (Na + and K + ) and anions (Cl - ) milligram equivalent, i.e. dEB (mEq / kg) = Na + +K + -Cl - .

[0004] The amount of soybean meal added to low-protein and low-soybean meal feeds is reduced, while K in soybean meal + Rich in content, reducing the amount of soybean meal added will increase the K content in the diet + The concentration of lysine hydrochloride and choline chloride added will increase the Cl - Therefore, low protein and low soybean meal diets often result in high chloride and low potassium in the diet. + +K + -Cl -According to the calculation formula, a low-protein, low-soybean meal diet will reduce the dEB of the diet. For example, the dEB of a low-protein diet for growing and fattening pigs is only 120-129mEq / kg. NRC (2012) recommended the optimal dEB value for pigs to be 250mEq / kg. In actual applications, low-protein, low-soybean meal diets for growing and fattening pigs generally have poor growth performance and pork quality, which affects the effective promotion of this technology. Electrolyte balance directly affects the health of pigs and the quality of pork, and puts higher requirements on the dEB of growing and fattening pig diets. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a dEB regulator for low-protein diets for growing and fattening pigs to give full play to the application effect of low-protein, low-soybean meal diets for pigs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems existing in the prior art and provide a dEB regulator for a low-protein diet for growing and fattening pigs.

[0006] The technical solutions specifically adopted in the present invention are as follows:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a dEB regulator for a low-protein diet for growing and finishing pigs, which is composed of 45 to 54 parts by weight of potassium sulfate, 41 to 43 parts by weight of sodium bicarbonate, 4 to 8 parts by weight of potassium-containing zeolite, and 1 to 4 parts by weight of hydrotalcite.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the first aspect, the potassium-containing zeolite has a particle size of 300-400 meshes, and the potassium content in the zeolite is 2-5%.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the first aspect, the hydrotalcite is Mg-Al hydrotalcite.

[0010] In the present invention, potassium-containing zeolite is obtained by commercial means, such as Chifeng Wuhua Tianbao Mineral Material Co., Ltd. The hydrotalcite used in the present invention can be a commercially available product or can be prepared according to the prior art, and its preparation technology is well known.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a low-protein, low-soybean meal feed for growing and finishing pigs to which a dEB regulator as described in any one of the schemes of the first aspect is added.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the second aspect, the amount of the dEB regulator added to the feed is 0.25 wt.% to 0.4 wt.%.

[0013] The dEB regulator for the low-protein diet of growing and fattening pigs of the present invention has the following characteristics:

[0014] (1) Hydrotalcites (or Layered Double Hydroxides, LDHs) are anionic inorganic functional materials with strong adsorption capacity for anions. Because the addition of lysine hydrochloride, choline chloride and other chloride salts in low-protein and low-soybean meal feeds will increase the Cl content in the diet. - As the concentration increases, the hydrotalcite used in the present invention will adsorb Cl in the intestine of growing and fattening pigs. - , thereby reducing Cl in intestinal contents - concentration, thereby alleviating the high Cl - Adverse effects on growing and finishing pigs.

[0015] (2) The hydrotalcite used in the present invention is Mg-A1-hydrotalcite, the main elements of which are magnesium, aluminum, CO3 2- 、SO4 2- Magnesium and sulfur are essential mineral elements for growing and fattening pigs, which have the effects of promoting the growth of growing and fattening pigs, improving the body's immunity and anti-stress. Mg-A1-hydrotalcite has good biocompatibility and gastrointestinal mucosal affinity, high surface activity and huge specific surface area, etc., which can improve the bioavailability of potassium and sodium in the dEB regulator of the present invention.

[0016] (3) The potassium-containing zeolite used in the present invention can play a controlled-release role in the absorption and utilization of potassium. The regular interconnected pore structure and cage-like space, high surface activity and huge specific surface area enable it to have a controlled-release effect on the loaded potassium, thereby greatly improving the absorption and utilization rate of potassium.

[0017] (4) Adding the dEB regulator of the invention to the low-protein, low-soybean meal feed of growing and finishing pigs can effectively regulate the body's acid-base balance and electrolyte balance, improve the growth performance of growing and finishing pigs, improve the carcass quality and meat quality, and promote the efficient absorption and utilization of amino acids.

[0018] (5) The dEB regulator of the present invention has significant interactions among its components and has a positive significant synergistic combination effect. Through the optimized ratio of each component and the synergistic combination effect, the dEB-added group of growing pigs with a dEB of 176 mEq / kg in the diet has a better application effect than the group with a dEB of 250 mEq / kg in the diet (the best dEB recommended by NRC 2012 for pig nutritional requirements), and the dEB-added group of finishing pigs with a dEB of 157 mEq / kg in the diet has a better application effect than the group with a dEB of 250 mEq / kg in the diet (the best dEB recommended by NRC 2012 for pig nutritional requirements).

[0019] (6) Zeolite and hydrotalcite are easy to form a uniform dispersion system, have stable performance and do not absorb moisture, so that the dEB regulator of the present invention has good fluidity and is easy to mix with feed. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Through the optimized ratio and combined synergistic effect of each component in EBLP, the EBLP group with dEB of 157mEq / kg has better application effect than the high dEB group with dEB of 250mEq / kg (the optimal dEB recommended by NRC 2012 Pig Nutrition Requirements).
