Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry disease prevention and microbial technology, and particularly relates to a plant lactobacillus strain for preventing piglet diarrhea and promoting growth and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Because piglets have not yet established a stable micro-ecological system in their intestines, they have low resistance and are sensitive to external stimuli. They are easily invaded by various pathogenic microorganisms and various stress factors. Among them, piglet diarrhea is a common disease in current pig production. Diarrhea will interrupt the normal physiological development process of piglets, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and insufficient nutrient intake, which will lead to growth retardation or even death of piglets, causing huge economic losses.
[0003] Traditionally, diarrhea in piglets is prevented by adding drug ingredients (antibiotics or synthetic antimicrobial drugs) to feed. However, feed antibiotics or synthetic antimicrobial drugs will form drug residues in the piglets' bodies, which may cause food safety problems and threaten human health.
[0004] Therefore, how to prevent piglet diarrhea safely and without toxic side effects is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0044] Test Example 1
[0045] This test example uses animal experiments to study the feed additive prepared in Example 2 and its efficacy in preventing and treating diarrhea in weaned piglets.
[0046] The experiment selected 30 healthy, similar-weight, weaned Sego pigs at 28 days of age and randomly divided them into three treatment groups (one control group and two experimental groups), with two replicates in each group, five pigs in each replicate, and one replicate as one pen. After weighing the initial weight, SAS software was used for analysis to confirm that there was no difference in initial weight among the treatments. Pens fed with different feeds were arranged crosswise to eliminate environmental differences.
[0047] The experiment adopts single factor experimental design, experimental treatment:
[0048] Control group: only fed with the basic diet for piglets;
[0049] Experimental group 1: fed with basic diet + 3% "feed additive prepared in Example 2";
[0050] Experimental group 2: Feeding: basic diet + 5% of “feed additive prepared in Example 2”.
[0051] After 3 days of pre-feeding, a four-week feeding test was conducted. Piglets were fed with milk replacer and piglet treasure in the two stages before weaning (weeks 1-2) and after weaning (weeks 3-4), respectively. The basic diet is based on the complete feed ("Sano" premix + energy feed) fed in the pig farm. The experimental diet is divided into three types: ① Basic diet (see Table 1, without any antibiotics) ② Basic diet + 3% "Feed additive prepared in Example 2" ③ Basic diet + 5% "Feed additive prepared in Example 2". During the test, the powder was added to the "feed additive prepared in Example 2" at a ratio of 1:100 and stirred to mix evenly, and then fed to the experimental weaned piglets.
[0052] Table 1 Basic diet formula for the experiment
[0053]
[0054] Note: ①4% premix contains: Vitamin A 300 KIU, Vitamin D 356 KIU, Vitamin E 800 IU, Vitamin K 365 mg, Vitamin B1 71 mg, Vitamin B2 331 mg, Vitamin B6 81 mg, Vitamin B12 1 mg, Niacin 1175 mg, Pantothenic acid 900 mg, Folic acid 32 mg, Biotin 1.3 mg, Choline chloride 6 g, Iron 5 g, Copper 6.3 g, Zinc 5.5 g, Manganese 1.9 g, Iodine 20 mg, Selenium 15 mg, Cobalt 25 mg, Calcium 135-225 g, Phosphorus 57 g. The premix also contains phytase, 10% aminophenylarsonic acid 25000 mg, 10% colistin sulfate premix 5000 mg, 5% quinolone 25000 mg; ②Nutritional ingredients are all calculated values.
[0055] The nursery house uses slatted floor nursery equipment, the house temperature is controlled at 20-25℃, and the relative humidity is 50%-70%. The experimental piglets are fed ad libitum, 4-6 times a day, and the amount of each addition should be slightly left in the feed trough.
[0056] The pre-test period is 5 days, and vaccination, deworming and health care are carried out at the same time. After entering the main test period, each group is fed with corresponding diets. Free food and water are available, and immunization is carried out according to the normal procedures of the pig farm. The test period is 28 days.
[0057] At the beginning and end of the experiment, each piglet was weighed on an empty stomach. The feed amount, residual feed amount and loss were recorded, and the feed-to-weight ratio was calculated based on the average daily weight gain and average daily feed intake.
[0058] 1. Average daily weight gain
[0059] The piglets were weighed on an empty stomach in the morning on the first and last day of the experiment, and the average daily weight gain of weaned piglets was calculated based on the initial and final weights.
[0060]
[0061] 2. Average daily feed intake
[0062] The feed intake of each group was recorded separately, and the average daily feed intake was calculated based on the number of experimental days.
[0063]
[0064] 3. Material-to-weight ratio
[0065] The feed-to-weight ratio was calculated based on the average daily feed intake and average daily weight gain.
[0066]
[0067] 4. Diarrhea rate
[0068] Observe the feces of piglets regularly at 8 am every day, record the number of diarrhea pigs, and calculate the diarrhea rate.
[0069]
[0070] Data processing: Data were recorded daily according to the experimental design, and the experimental data were preliminarily sorted using Excel. After the feeding was completed, the data were processed using SPSS14.0 software for variance analysis.
[0071] Results and Analysis
[0072] 1. Effect of “Feed Additive Prepared in Example 2” on Diarrhea Rate in Weaned Piglets
[0073] Table 2 Effect of "Feed additive prepared in Example 2" on diarrhea in weaned piglets
[0074]
[0075] In the early stage of the experiment, all groups had diarrhea. In the middle stage of the experiment, the number of diarrhea in the experimental group decreased, and there was no diarrhea in the later stage. During the experiment, one pig in the control group died of diarrhea, and the rest of the piglets had fever. The physical condition and health level of the piglets in the experimental group were better. The diarrhea rate of pigs in each group is shown in Table 2. From the statistical results in Table 2, it can be seen that the diarrhea rate of the experimental group was 6.65 and 6.79 percentage points lower than that of the control group, and the health level was significantly better than that of the control group.
[0076] 2. Effect of “Feed Additive Prepared in Example 2” on Growth Performance of Weaned Piglets
[0077] Table 3 Effect of "Feed additive prepared in Example 2" on growth performance of weaned piglets
[0078]
[0079] From the statistical results in Table 3 and the observations during the test, it can be seen that the piglets in the test group are better than those in the control group in terms of growth performance and health level. The piglets in the test group had less weaning stress, were able to enter the nursery state quickly and healthily, gained weight faster in the middle and late stages, and no disease occurred during the nursery; while the piglets in the control group had greater weaning stress, had severe diarrhea, and could only gradually turn to the nursery state after medication. During the test, one piglet died of diarrhea, and the meat loss was very obvious in the initial stage, and the overall health status was relatively poor. It shows that "the feed additive prepared in Example 2" has a good promoting effect on the growth performance and health status of weaned piglets.
[0080] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred arrangement scheme, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
