Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of sturgeon farming technology, specifically to a feed additive composition, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Sturgeon are among the earliest groups of vertebrates, with fossils of acipenseriformes discovered as early as the Jurassic period of the Mesozoic Era, 200 million years ago. Acipenseriformes are characterized by their large size, long lifespan, and late sexual maturity. There are 27 species of sturgeon worldwide, but due to factors such as water conservancy projects, fishing, shipping, and pollution, most are currently endangered to varying degrees. my country has eight species of sturgeon: the Daurian sturgeon (Husodauricus) and the Shih-renckr sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckr) in the Heilongjiang River; the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baer), the small sturgeon (Acipenser ruthanus), and the naked sturgeon (Acipenser nudiventris) in the Ertis River and other waters of Xinjiang; the Chinese sturgeon (Acipenser sinensis Gray), which migrates between rivers and the sea; the Yangtze sturgeon (Acipenser dabryanus), which lives in freshwater; and the Chinese paddlefish (Pesphurus gladius), which inhabits the estuaries of the Yangtze River and other major rivers. Unfortunately, the Chinese paddlefish, known as the "King of Freshwater Fish in China," was declared functionally extinct in 2020. On July 21, 2022, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) declared the Yangtze sturgeon "extinct in the wild." The Chinese sturgeon is also facing the dilemma of continuous interruption of natural reproduction (2017-2024). If active and effective artificial protection measures are not taken, more and more sturgeon populations may disappear from our sight in the future.

[0003] The Yangtze sturgeon is a freshwater, sedentary sturgeon species found in the upper and middle reaches of the Yangtze River in my country. It has a long sexual maturity cycle, with females reaching sexual maturity at 6-8 years of age and males at 3-5 years of age. After the 1980s, its natural population shrank dramatically, and its natural reproductive activity ceased after 2000. It was listed as a Class I protected wild animal in China in 1988, listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in 1997, and upgraded to Critically Endangered (CR) by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in 2010. In 2022, it was declared "Extinct in the Wild" by the IUCN.

[0004] In recent years, with the development of artificial breeding technology, large-scale farming of Yangtze sturgeon has gradually emerged. However, because the immune function of juvenile fish is not yet fully developed, they are more sensitive to fluctuations in water temperature, changes in water quality, and potential pathogens in the breeding environment. This makes them prone to problems such as slow growth, low survival rate, and weak disease resistance, which has become a key bottleneck restricting the efficient development of the sturgeon farming industry.

[0005] Feed is a core factor affecting the growth and immune performance of aquatic animals, and its formulation directly determines the profitability of aquaculture. Currently, commercially available sturgeon fry feeds mostly aim to meet basic nutritional needs, primarily by controlling the content of conventional nutrients such as crude protein and crude fat to ensure the growth of fry. However, there is a lack of functional design specifically for "enhancing immune performance." To address this issue, the industry has begun to experiment with adding functional additives to feed, but these have not significantly improved the immunity of sturgeon. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a feed additive composition, its preparation method and application, thereby solving the technical problem of how to significantly improve the immunity of sturgeon in the prior art.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned technical objectives, the present invention provides a feed additive composition comprising arachidonic acid, vitamin C, and pollen.

[0008] In any embodiment, the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1-1.5% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.01%-0.08% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.15%-0.9% of the feed mass.

[0009] In any embodiment, the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.04% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.45% of the feed mass.

[0010] Alternatively, the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.08% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.9% of the feed mass.

[0011] In any embodiment, it further includes yeast selenium and a first starch, wherein the amount of yeast selenium added is 0.2-0.5% of the feed mass; and the amount of the first starch added is 10%-20% of the yeast selenium mass.

[0012] In any embodiment, it further includes β-glucan, a second starch, and gum arabic, wherein the amount of β-glucan added is 0.3-0.6% of the feed mass, the amount of the second starch added is 10%-20% of the β-glucan mass, and the amount of gum arabic added is 5-10% of the β-glucan mass.

[0013] In any embodiment, the feed, calculated by weight, includes 15-20 parts fish meal, 20-30 parts soybean meal, 10-15 parts chicken meal, 10-15 parts fermented meal, 14-16 parts wheat flour, 1-2 parts phospholipids, 2-4 parts calcium dihydrogen phosphate, 2-4 parts compound multivitamins and minerals, and 5-10 parts oil.

[0014] In addition, the present invention also proposes a method for preparing a feed additive composition, comprising the following steps: mixing yeast selenium, first starch and first water and drying to obtain first granules, and mixing the first granules, arachidonic acid, vitamin C and pollen to obtain the feed additive composition.

[0015] In any embodiment, the method further includes: mixing the first particle, β-glucan, second starch, gum arabic, and second water, and then drying the mixture to obtain a second particle; and mixing the second particle, arachidonic acid, vitamin C, and pollen to obtain the feed additive composition.

[0016] Furthermore, the present invention also proposes the application of the above-mentioned feed additive composition in sturgeon feed.

[0017] In any embodiment, the steps include: mixing the feed additive composition with sturgeon feed, followed by adding a binder and a third water and mixing.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention include: the feed additive composition proposed in the present invention, in combination with arachidonic acid, vitamin C and pollen, can effectively improve the immunity of sturgeon. Attached Figure Description

[0019] Figure 1 This is a photograph of a sturgeon used in an application example of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The "range" disclosed in this application is defined by a lower limit and an upper limit. A given range is defined by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, which define the boundaries of a particular range. Ranges defined in this way can include or exclude endpoints and can be arbitrarily combined; that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a range. For example, if ranges of 60–120 and 80–110 are listed for a specific parameter, it is understood that ranges of 60–110 and 80–120 are also expected. Furthermore, if minimum range values ​​of 1 and 2 are listed, and if maximum range values ​​of 3, 4, and 5 are listed, then the following ranges are all expected: 1–3, 1–4, 1–5, 2–3, 2–4, and 2–5. In this application, unless otherwise stated, the numerical range "a–b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" indicates that all real numbers between "0~5" have been listed in this article; "0~5" is simply a shortened representation of these numerical combinations. Furthermore, when a parameter is stated as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to disclosing that the parameter is, for example, an integer such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, etc.

[0021] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "comprising" and "including" as used in this application can be open-ended or closed-ended. For example, "comprising" and "including" can mean that other components not listed may also be included, or that only the listed components may be included.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the term "or" is inclusive in this application. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B". More specifically, the condition "A or B" is satisfied by any of the following conditions: A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist); A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists); or both A and B are true (or exist).

[0023] This specific embodiment provides a feed additive composition comprising arachidonic acid, vitamin C, and pollen; the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1-1.5% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.01%-0.08% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.15%-0.9% of the feed mass.

[0024] In some embodiments, the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.04% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.45% of the feed mass.

[0025] Alternatively, the amount of arachidonic acid added is 1% of the feed mass; the amount of vitamin C added is 0.08% of the feed mass; and the amount of pollen added is 0.9% of the feed mass.

[0026] In some embodiments, the feed also includes selenium yeast and a first starch, wherein the amount of selenium yeast added is 0.2-0.5% of the feed mass; and the amount of the first starch added is 10%-20% of the selenium yeast mass. To further improve the immunity of sturgeon, we added selenium yeast and, in combination with the first starch, formed first pellets which were added to the feed; however, the effect on improving the immunity of sturgeon was not significant.

[0027] Based on this, we further added β-glucan and, through combination with secondary starch and gum arabic, formulated a second granule capable of slow-release of the active ingredient. With the synergistic effect of β-glucan, yeast selenium, and other components, this significantly improved the immunity of sturgeon. This is likely because the slow-release β-glucan enhances the integrity of the sturgeon's intestinal mucosa, improving the absorption of other active ingredients in the feed, thereby effectively enhancing the sturgeon's immunity.

[0028] In some embodiments, the feed may further include β-glucan, a second starch, and gum arabic, wherein the amount of β-glucan added is 0.3-0.6% of the feed mass, the amount of the second starch added is 10%-20% of the β-glucan mass, and the amount of gum arabic added is 5-10% of the β-glucan mass.

[0029] Furthermore, this specific embodiment also proposes a method for preparing a feed additive composition, including the following steps: mixing yeast selenium, first starch and first water and drying to obtain first granules, and mixing the first granules, arachidonic acid, vitamin C and pollen to obtain the feed additive composition.

[0030] In some embodiments, the method further includes: mixing the first particle, β-glucan, second starch, gum arabic, and second water, and then drying the mixture to obtain a second particle; and mixing the second particle, arachidonic acid, vitamin C, and pollen to obtain the feed additive composition.

[0031] This specific embodiment also proposes the application of feed additive compositions in sturgeon feed.

[0032] In some embodiments, the above application includes the following steps: mixing the feed additive composition with sturgeon feed, followed by adding a binder and a third water mixture.
