Additive feed formula adopting pine cone powder to promote digestion and absorption of laying hens

Abstract

The invention discloses an additive feed formula adopting pine nut powder to promote digestion and absorption of laying hens, and relates to the technical field of breeding. The pine cone powder is added and blended as a raw material. The additive feed formula for promoting digestion and absorption of the laying hens by adopting the pine nut powder is prepared by mixing immature Korean pine cones in Jilin region and cyperus esculentus peel grinding powder after superfine grinding, and mixing the pine nut powder and the cyperus esculentus peel powder according to a proportion. The components of the pine cone contain polysaccharide and polyphenol, and the mandulapalka peel contains mineral substances such as calcium, iron, zinc, manganese and selenium, so that eggs of hens eating the pine cone for a long time have light sweetness and fragrance, digestion and absorption of chicken flocks are promoted, and the growth speed of the hens is increased.

Description

Technical Field:

[0001] This invention relates to a feed additive formula that promotes the digestion and absorption of pine cone powder in laying hens, particularly a method of using red pine cones as raw materials in combination with tiger pea husks.

[0002] The term "promoting digestion and absorption" refers to the fact that the main ingredient, pine cone powder, is rich in polysaccharides and polyphenols, which helps promote digestion and absorption in laying hens and accelerates their growth. Background technology:

[0003] One of the most common problems chickens encounter is feather pecking. This is because chickens are generally fed a limited diet, such as only corn kernels or only rice. A monotonous diet easily leads to nutritional imbalances and a lack of essential micronutrients for growth. Therefore, chickens will peck at their own or other birds' feathers to supplement these micronutrient needs, which can easily trigger feather pecking. Preventing feather pecking and ensuring they receive the necessary micronutrients for growth is therefore essential. Pine cones happen to contain more than 85% of the micronutrients needed for chicken growth.

[0004] Therefore, adding 2%-3% pine cone powder to the chicken's daily feed, twice a day, essentially eliminates the feather-pecking and vent-pecking behavior. Feeding chickens with pine cones can also improve their growth rate and the quality of their meat and eggs. Pine cones contain a large amount of polysaccharides and polyphenols. Chickens that regularly consume pine cones have a slightly sweet and aromatic flavor, and their taste is better than chickens fed only single grains.

[0005] Pine trees are abundant, and different regions have different varieties, but they all produce pine cones, especially in autumn and winter when they are scattered everywhere on the ground. Pine cones are the fruits that grow on pine trees; their unique, pagoda-like shape makes them suitable for decoration, hence the name "pine cone." After maturing, pine cones contain pine nuts, which are the seeds. While pine cones are readily available, this resource hasn't been fully utilized. The medicinal value of pine cones is recorded in Li Shizhen's *Compendium of Materia Medica* from the Ming Dynasty, which states that pine cones have expectorant, antitussive, antiasthmatic, wind-dispelling, bowel-moistening, and calming effects. Furthermore, medical history includes cases of pine cones treating chronic bronchitis, and the folk remedy of boiling pine cones in water to treat stomach cancer has been confirmed. This demonstrates the medicinal value of pine cones. Pine cones contain various compounds, mainly polysaccharides, polyphenols, terpenes, and flavonoids. Polysaccharides, in particular, possess various biological activities such as anti-tumor, antibacterial, and antiviral properties, all of which have significant potential applications.

[0006] Tiger nuts (also known as Indian tiger nuts) originated in Africa and Mediterranean countries. They are annual plants belonging to the Poaceae family and are highly adaptable. Introduced to China, they are cultivated in Heilongjiang, Beijing, Hebei, Hunan, Shandong, Sichuan, and other regions. It is a high-quality, high-yield, and multi-purpose crop with significant comprehensive utilization value, valued for both oil and grain. Also known as tiger nut, it is also an ornamental plant for beautifying and greening the environment. This variety is highly adaptable and yields a high rate of planting from spring to July, avoiding the busy farming season. Planting 1 mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of tiger nuts is equivalent to planting 7-10 mu (approximately 1.1-1.6 acres) of rapeseed. The leaves are needle-shaped, slender, and long. The plant grows to about 1 meter tall, exhibits vigorous growth, strong tillering ability, and produces underground tubers. The fruit is oval, with an oil yield of approximately 35%, superior in quality to rapeseed oil. It is rich in protein and amino acids, as well as unsaturated fatty acids, making it a beneficial oil for weight loss and health. It is also rich in tocopherols, which are not found in other vegetable oils, giving it extremely high nutritional value. Tiger nuts are highly resistant to adverse conditions and generally do not suffer from diseases. They can be intercropped in apple, pear, and citrus orchards. Tiger nuts can be grown in any soil suitable for peanuts, but they are best suited to sandy soils. Tiger nuts are annual plants belonging to the Cyperaceae family. They are a high-quality, high-yield, and promising economic crop with broad prospects for comprehensive utilization, integrating grain, oil, livestock, and forage. Tiger nuts are nutritionally comprehensive, mainly including oil, starch, sugar, and protein, and are also rich in calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, sterols, plant polysaccharides, vitamin E, vitamin D3, vitamins B1, B2, and B6, among other trace elements. The content of oil, sugar, starch, protein, and water is 25%, 20%-25%, 20%-25%, and 5%-8.00%, respectively. Summary of the Invention:

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned situation in chicken farming by providing a feed additive formula that uses pine cone powder to promote the digestion and absorption of laying hens.

[0008] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] The method of using pine cone powder with added tiger nut skin powder includes the following sequence and steps:

[0010] a. After collecting and rinsing the pine cones, lay them flat on the drying rack;

[0011] b. Grind the pine cones on the drying rack into powder using an ultra-fine grinding process:

[0012] c. Grind the skins off the tiger nuts and grind them into coarse powder;

[0013] e. Mix the ultra-finely pulverized pine cone powder and tiger nut skin powder in a certain proportion;

[0014] f. Bottle and bag the well-stirred finished product separately;

[0015] g. Store the bottled and bagged finished products in the warehouse.

[0016] According to claim 1, the feed additive formula for promoting the digestion and absorption of laying hens using pine cone powder is characterized in that, in step e, the pine cone powder and tiger nut husk powder are mixed evenly in a certain proportion; the proportion of pine cone powder is 75% and tiger nut husk powder is 25%.

[0017] According to claim 2, the feed additive formula for promoting the digestion and absorption of laying hens using pine cone powder is characterized in that, the raw material in step a must be crushed pine cones of unripe red pine from Jilin region.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] The feed formulation that uses pine cone powder to promote digestion and absorption in laying hens is made with pine cone powder and tiger nut husk powder. Although the raw material cost is not high, it is rich in trace elements. Since chickens do not have teeth, they need to use things like tiger nut husks to help their stomachs rub and digest food. Therefore, this type of feed, combined with ordinary feed, is inexpensive, simple to process, rich in nutrients, and easy to absorb. Detailed implementation method:
