TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of breeding feed, in particular to a feed additive for reducing the incidence of watermarked eggs and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Watermarked eggs refer to a kind of eggs with watermarked spots on the eggshell, also known as dark spot eggs. The watermarks on the eggshell not only affect the appearance of the eggs, but also increase the probability of microbial contamination of the eggs, and reduce the storage resistance of the eggs. The appearance of the eggs is the most direct factor for consumers to judge the quality of the eggs, and the watermarks on the eggshell will make consumers mistakenly believe that there is a problem with the quality of the eggs, so they refuse to buy such eggs. In recent years, watermarked eggs have caused significant losses to egg breeders, egg suppliers and distributors. According to statistics, the direct economic losses caused by watermarked eggs can reach 2 billion yuan per year. Therefore, it is of great significance to find a feed additive to reduce the incidence of watermarked eggs and reduce the incidence of watermarked eggs during egg production and storage for the healthy development of the egg breeding industry.
[0003] The formation of watermarked eggs is affected by many factors such as the condition of the laying hens, the age of the laying hens, the breeding environment, the nutritional level, the storage environment and the storage time of the eggs. In high temperature and high humidity seasons, the incidence of watermarked eggs can be as high as 35%. Although there are many external factors affecting watermarked eggs, these external factors ultimately affect the quality of the eggshell membrane and the eggshell. Poor quality of the eggshell membrane can cause water in the egg white to penetrate into the eggshell, and excessive water in the eggshell can form watermarked spots, which is an important reason for the formation of watermarked eggs. Studies have shown that the water content of the eggshell of watermarked eggs (2.18%) is significantly higher than that of normal eggshells (1.25%). The thickness of the eggshell membrane and the inner membrane of the watermarked eggshell is thinner, the fiber structure of the eggshell membrane is looser, the compactness is poorer, and the gap between the inner and outer eggshell membranes is larger, so the water in the egg white is more likely to penetrate from the watermarked part and enter the eggshell. The microstructure of the watermarked eggshell also has great differences. The results of the biological scanning electron microscope of the eggshell show that the compactness and thickness of the crystal layer and the grid layer of the watermarked part of the eggshell are lower than those of the normal eggshell, the gap between the papillae is large, the papillae are fragile, the arrangement is loose and disordered. In addition, the incidence of watermarked eggs is high in summer. High temperature and high humidity in summer can cause stress in laying hens, leading to a decrease in calcium levels in the blood of laying hens, hormone secretion disorder, and a decrease in eggshell quality, thereby producing watermarked eggs.
[0004] The microstructure variation of eggshell membrane and eggshell and the decline of eggshell quality caused by stress during the breeding process are important reasons for the occurrence of watermarked eggs. China is a big country of poultry consumption. At present, watermarked eggs have become an important problem restricting the development of the egg industry. Although there have been some research progress on the causes of watermarked eggs, due to the complex mechanism of watermarked egg formation and many influencing factors, the application effect of some single solutions reported is poor, and the problem of watermarked eggs cannot be truly solved in production.
[0005] The eggshell membrane is a biological membrane composed of proteins. Dimethyl sulfone is a natural sulfur donor and methyl donor, which can provide sulfur elements for laying hens, help the formation of disulfide bonds and collagen proteins on the eggshell membrane, increase the density of the eggshell membrane, reduce the water infiltration in the egg white, and thus prevent the formation of watermarked eggs. In addition, dimethyl sulfone and yeast selenium both have the effect of relieving oxidative stress, which can effectively improve the oxidative stress of laying hens caused by feeding factors and breeding environment, and reduce the occurrence of watermarked eggs. So far, there is no report on the combination of dimethyl sulfone and yeast selenium as a feed additive to improve watermarked eggs. SUMMARY
[0006] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a feed additive for reducing the occurrence rate of watermarked eggs and a preparation method thereof.

At the same time, the components are processed and mixed to form a feed additive, which is added to the laying hen feed in proportion, and can be used to reduce the occurrence rate of watermarked eggs after continuous feeding for 14 days. The feed additive of the present application significantly improves the problem of high occurrence rate of watermarked eggs in the production process of laying hens, and reduces the economic losses of laying hen breeders caused by watermarked eggs.

[0058] The application is illustrated in detail below in combination with the Figure 1 application method and effects in laying hen diet.
[0059] In the test of the method, 500 healthy Jingfen No. 6 hens of 57 weeks old with similar laying rate, watermarked egg incidence and body weight were selected and divided into 5 treatment groups, 100 hens in each treatment group. The control group was fed with basic diet; feed groups I, II, III and IV were fed with feed I, II, III and IV respectively. The pre-test period was 1 week, and the formal test period was 3 weeks.
[0060] In the second week (7-14 days) and the third week (15-21 days) of the formal test, 30 eggs were randomly selected from each treatment group every day, and the eggs were stored at room temperature (25°C) for 7 days, then the watermarks on the eggshells were detected by using the egg lamp. The watermarked egg score standard was compared, and the watermarks on the eggshells of each egg were scored, 1-2 levels were defined as normal eggs, and 3-5 levels were defined as watermarked eggs. Figure 1
[0061] The test results are shown in Tables 1 and 2:
[0062] Table 1 Influence of feed on the incidence of watermarked eggs in the second week (7-14 days)
[0063]
[0064]
[0065] As can be seen from Table 1, under the conditions of the test, the incidence of watermarked eggs in the control group in the second week was 28.10%. The incidence of watermarked eggs in feed groups I-IV was 14.29%, 19.52%, 21.43% and 20.00% respectively, which was lower than that of the control group to varying degrees. Compared with the control group, the lowest decrease in the incidence of watermarked eggs in the feed group was 23.74% (feed group III), and the highest was 49.15% (feed group I).
[0066] Table 2 Influence of feed on the incidence of watermarked eggs in the third week (15-21 days)
[0067]
[0068] As can be seen from Table 2, under the conditions of the test, the incidence of watermarked eggs in the control group in the third week was 27.14%. The incidence of watermarked eggs in feed groups I-IV was 16.19%, 19.05%, 15.24% and 12.38% respectively, which was lower than that of the control group to varying degrees. Compared with the control group, the lowest decrease in the incidence of watermarked eggs in the feed group was 29.81% (feed group II), and the highest was 54.38% (feed group IV).
