Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of animal feed and relates to oat straw silage and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oats, belonging to the genus Avena in the Poaceae family, are an important grain crop, playing a crucial role in agricultural production and boasting a relatively high straw yield. As a major agricultural producer, China boasts a particularly abundant oat straw resource. The oat cultivation area has been increasing annually, from 327,700 hectares in 2019 to 402,500 hectares in 2024, with production increasing from 235,000 tons in 2013 to 700,000 tons in 2024. As a high-quality forage resource, oats, through the fermentation of lactic acid bacteria during ensiling, retain most of their nutrients while allowing for long-term storage. This provides a fundamental foundation for the sustainable development of the livestock industry while conserving resources. Therefore, ensiling oat straw using lactic acid bacteria has become a crucial component of livestock industry development. In recent years, with the rapid development of the livestock industry and the increasing demand for feed quality, oat straw ensiling technology has garnered widespread attention and application.

[0043] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods.

[0044] Unless otherwise specified, the materials and reagents used in the following examples can be obtained from commercial sources.

[0045] Example The oat straw fermentation method provided by the present invention comprises the following steps: 1) Adjust the dry matter content of oat straw to about 55% with sterile water and set aside.

[0046] 2) Activating bacteria: Lactobacillus buchneri ( Lactobacillus buchneri )NX205 (CGMCC No.16534), Lactobacillus plantarum ( Lactobacillus plantarum )WQ-01(CGMCC No. 13318)、Lactobacillus fermentum( Lactobacillus fermentum) 17SD-2 (CGMCC No. 15448) were cultured in MRS liquid medium (Beijing Solebaugh Technology Co., Ltd., catalog number M8540-250g) at 37°C under anaerobic conditions. The bacterial solution was added to oat straw at a concentration of 5 × 10 viable cells. 6 CFU / g FM (wet weight).

[0047] 3) Spray the inoculant obtained in step 2 evenly onto the oat straw obtained in step 1, stir thoroughly, and place 200 g of the inoculant in step 2 into a polyethylene bag. Vacuum the bag and store in the dark for 60 days at an average indoor temperature of 20–25°C. The control group consisted of an equal amount of sterile water added to the oat straw for fermentation, designated CK. The experimental groups consisted of the three inoculants added in step 2, designated NX205, WQ-01, and 17SD-2. Three replicates were set up for each group.

[0048] The fermented oat straw silage is sent to Tangshan Kebolangu Feed Testing Technology Service Co., Ltd. for testing.

[0049] Results and Analysis: Functional verification of the strain: The method for functional verification of the strain mentioned above comprises the following steps: 1) Inoculation: Inoculate the bacterial cultures of Lactobacillus buchneri NX205, Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01, and Lactobacillus fermentum 17SD-2 onto CMC-Na (MRS medium + 1% sodium carboxymethyl cellulose) and MRS-F (sugar-free MRS medium + 10% sterile ethyl ferulate solution) plates, respectively, and culture in anaerobic incubators at 37°C.

[0050] 2) Verification of cellulase activity: After colonies have grown, stain a CMC-Na plate with 0.2% Congo red for 30–40 min, then discard the dye. Wash the plate with 1 mol / L NaCl solution until a clearing zone is observed. If a clearing zone is observed at the edge of the colony, this strain demonstrates cellulase activity.

[0051] 3) Functional verification of feruloyl esterase activity: After colonies have grown, observe the MRS-F plate. If a clear zone is observed at the edge of the colony, it proves that the strain exhibits feruloyl esterase activity.

[0052] The test results are as follows Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, two strains, Lactobacillus buchneri NX205 and Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01, showed cellulase activity, and Lactobacillus fermentum 17SD-2 showed feruloyl esterase activity.

[0053] Effects of different functional strains on the nutritional and fermentation quality of oat straw silage: Effects of different functional strains on the nutritional quality of oat straw silage Figure 3 As shown in the figure, after 60 days of ensiling, there were no significant differences in dry matter and crude protein content among the different treatment groups. The soluble carbohydrate content of the WQ-01 group was the highest and significantly higher than that of the 17SD-2 group ( p <0.01) and NX205 group ( p <0.05), indicating that after fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01, the residual content of soluble carbohydrates in the sample was higher and more nutrients were preserved; the neutral detergent fiber content and acid detergent fiber content of the WQ-01 and NX205 groups were significantly higher ( p <0.05) was higher than that of the CK group, and there was no significant difference between the 17SD-2 group and the CK group.

[0054] Effects of different functional strains on the fermentation quality of oat straw silage Figure 4 As shown, the pH values ​​of WQ-01 and NX205 groups were significantly ( p <0.001) were lower than those in the CK and 17SD-2 groups, and the lactic acid content in the WQ-01 and NX205 groups was significantly ( p <0.05) were higher than those in the CK and 17SD-2 groups, indicating that the addition of Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01 and Lactobacillus buchneri NX205 could maintain low pH and high lactic acid content in oat straw silage; the acetic acid content in the 17SD-2 group was significantly ( p <0.01) was higher than that of WQ-01 and NX205, indicating that the addition of Lactobacillus fermentum 17SD-2 can maintain a high acetic acid content in oat straw silage, which has a positive effect on improving aerobic stability; the ammonia nitrogen content of the WQ-01 group was significantly ( p <0.001) was lower than that of 17SD-2, indicating that WQ-01 has a tendency to reduce protein degradation loss.

[0055] In summary, oat straw silage fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01, which exhibits cellulase activity, exhibits high soluble carbohydrates, low pH, and high lactic acid content, resulting in the best quality. The second best quality oat straw silage was obtained with Lactobacillus buchneri NX205, which also exhibits cellulase activity. The oat straw silage fermented with Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01 exhibits low pH and high lactic acid content. Therefore, the addition of Lactobacillus plantarum WQ-01 resulted in higher-quality oat straw silage, followed by Lactobacillus buchneri NX205. Furthermore, the addition of Lactobacillus fermentum 17SD-2, which exhibits feruloyl esterase activity, improved the aerobic stability of oat straw silage.
