Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The technical field belongs to the field of animal feed, and particularly relates to a pet special biological fermentation feed and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the highlighting of social problems such as aging, depopulation, and a substantial decline in the marriage rate, pet keeping has become an emotional outlet in the lives of many people. Pet keeping can provide companionship for the elderly and help promote their physical and mental health. According to the 2020 pet industry white paper, pet dogs and cats are the first choice for pet keeping in families, and the pet economy has also become a very large trend, with huge market demand. Various pet services have begun to appear in people's lives.

[0003] Pet feed is a nutritional food specially provided for pet dogs, and its main function is to provide dogs and cats with the nutrients required for basic life guarantee, growth and development, and health, of which the most important is protein. According to the source, protein is mainly divided into animal protein, plant protein and single-cell protein. Different types of protein have different nutritional values, and one of the important determining factors is the content and type of amino acids in the protein. Pets have completely different digestion, absorption and utilization of the two types of protein, so the intake of protein is crucial to the health of pets.

[0004] Animal protein and single-cell protein have high production costs and are not suitable for large-scale addition. Plant protein is mainly derived from grains and has a low cost. However, it cannot be efficiently absorbed and utilized in pets, resulting in a large amount of waste and an increase in pet defecation, which puts a burden on the liver and kidneys of pets. In order to reduce costs, a large amount of plant protein is added to most pet feeds, which not only puts a burden on the digestion and absorption of pets, but also causes long-term consumption to cause gastrointestinal allergies in pets, reduce the appetite of pets, and cause a large number of intestinal diseases, thereby affecting the health of pets.

[0005] Therefore, how to improve the digestion and absorption of plant protein by pets and improve the intestinal problems of pets has become an effective way to improve the nutritional value, safety and reduce the production cost of pet feed.

[0006] At present, in order to solve the above problems, there are many ways to add probiotics to pet food on the market, which can regulate the intestinal function of pet dogs and cats by improving the intestinal flora of pets. However, the production cost of mixed strains is high, and most of the strains are not resistant to gastric acid and bile acid, and it is difficult to effectively customize the probiotics in the intestinal tract, so the improvement of the intestinal function of pets is limited.

[0016] Further, in step (3), the addition amount of the composite fermentation bacterial liquid is 0.1-2wt% of the fermentation raw materials.

[0017] Further, in step (3), the water content for aerobic fermentation is 40-50wt%, and the water content for anaerobic fermentation is 60-70wt%.

[0018] Further, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae is purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 2.5455, the Aspergillus oryzae is purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 3.7195, the Lactobacillus plantarum is purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 1.1856, the Bacillus subtilis is purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 1.9086, and the Bifidobacterium animalis lactis is purchased from China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center with CGMCC No. 1.2891.

[0024] Advantages of the invention

[0025] Current pet feed widely uses corn and soybean meal as raw materials to provide plant protein, however, both of them contain some anti-nutritional substances such as soybean antigen protein and phytic acid. When pets eat a large amount of feed, it will cause hypersensitivity reaction in the small intestine, and high phytic acid content affects the absorption and utilization of trace elements and the digestion and absorption of protein, which will cause more serious impact on livestock and poultry breeding.

[0026] The present application has successfully used the fermentation products of complex fermentation bacteria on related grains to replace the plant protein components used in pet feed, and the obtained pet special biological fermentation feed has the characteristics of high digestion and utilization rate, improved intestinal health of pets, improved immunity of pets, and also has good flavor and palatability. The present application can decompose and transform plant protein in grains into more digestible and absorbable nutrients without toxic effects through the synergistic effect of each strain, and can also degrade the anti-nutritional substances in grains, which not only removes harmful substances contained in these feed raw materials and improves the quality of feed, but also adjusts the dynamic balance of intestinal flora of pets, so as to maintain the health of intestinal tract and avoid the adverse effects of antibiotics on intestinal tract.

[0060] Test example

[0061] Pet feed feeding dog experiment

[0062] Randomly select 120 pet cats of different breeds, divide them into 6 groups, 20 cats in each group, and feed them with the feeds prepared by the example 1 and the comparative examples 1-5 of the application. Record the average food intake within 30 days, and measure the protein residue in the feces. After 30 days, count the diarrhea incidence of all test pet cats, and measure the IgG content in the blood of the test pet cats by ELISA. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0063] Table 1

[0064]

[0065]

[0066] From the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the feed prepared by the example 1 of the application has good palatability, is easier to digest, can improve the appetite of pet cats and increase the food intake; the protein residue in the feces is the least, indicating that there is the most small molecular protein that is easy to digest and absorb; the diarrhea incidence is low and the blood immunoglobulin content is high, indicating that the intestinal health and immunity of pet cats are improved.

[0067] In the comparative example 1, Bacillus licheniformis is added, although the indicators of the protein residue in the feces, diarrhea incidence and IgG content in the blood are improved, but the average food intake is significantly reduced, indicating that the addition of Bacillus licheniformis changes the flavor of the feed and affects the palatability.

[0068] In the comparative example 2, Aspergillus niger is used to replace Aspergillus oryzae, and in the comparative example 3, Lactobacillus casei is used to replace Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis, and all the indicators are deteriorated, indicating that the addition of Aspergillus oryzae and Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis is crucial for improving the digestion and utilization rate of plant protein.

[0069] In the case of only mixing the composite fermentation bacteria with the related grains in Comparative Example 4, the indicators are all deteriorated, indicating that simply adding the composite fermentation bacteria to the pet feed has limited improvement on improving the digestion and utilization of plant protein;

[0070] In the case of not using the composite fermentation bacteria in Comparative Example 5, the indicators are all poor, indicating that the addition of the composite fermentation bacteria is essential for improving the digestion and utilization of plant protein.

[0071] It should be noted that the specification of the present application gives the preferred embodiments of the present application, but the present application can be realized in many different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described in the specification, and these embodiments are not additional limitations on the content of the present application, and the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive. Furthermore, the above technical features continue to be combined with each other, forming various embodiments not listed above, which are all considered to be within the scope of the present application specification; further, for those skilled in the art, the above description can be improved or changed, and all these improvements and changes shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
