Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine composition technology, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition, its preparation method and application. Background Technology
[0002] Rumen acidosis in sheep is mainly caused by excessive consumption of easily fermentable carbohydrate feed or silage with excessively high acidity, leading to the accumulation of lactic acid in the rumen, rumen microbial imbalance, and ultimately, systemic metabolic disorders. Due to its rapid onset, short course, severe systemic symptoms, and high mortality rate, rumen acidosis is a challenging disease to diagnose and treat clinically.
[0003] Currently, the prevention and treatment of rumen acidosis mainly involve adding sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide, or administering antibiotics to inhibit pathogenic bacteria. However, adding sodium bicarbonate and magnesium oxide affects the feed intake rate of sheep, while antibiotics are being gradually phased out. In recent years, the use of traditional Chinese medicine as an adjunct treatment for rumen acidosis has attracted widespread attention. However, the current focus is mainly on treating rumen acidosis using a combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. When using traditional Chinese medicine alone to treat rumen acidosis, complex preparation processes are often required, or the treatment effect varies significantly due to differences in the raw materials of the traditional Chinese medicine in the formula. Patent CN116211961A discloses a composition for preventing and treating rumen acidosis in ruminants, the composition comprising the following components: jujube powder, soapberry, arborvitae leaves, Bletilla striata, Magnolia officinalis, radish seed, six-leaf arborvitae, Citrus aurantium, dried tangerine peel, clove, patchouli, white peony root, Atractylodes macrocephala, licorice, active dry yeast, yeast extract, and yeast cell wall. The composition provided by this patent is suitable for the prevention and treatment of rumen acidosis in cattle and sheep. It contains multiple components and requires molasses spray coating to prepare a formulation that can be taken by cattle and sheep. The preparation method is complex and has high requirements for equipment and environment. Li Guangjin (2004) used intravenous injection of glucose saline, vitamins, sodium benzoate, 5% sodium bicarbonate injection, and neostigmine, and intramuscular injection of vitamin B1, supplemented with a decoction of 50g Magnolia officinalis, 50g Citrus aurantium, 120g roasted hawthorn, 200g germinated barley, 50g Shenqu, 45g Citrus reticulata peel, 45g Atractylodes macrocephala, 45g Areca catechu, 80g rhubarb, and 200g Glauber's salt, one dose per day, to treat rumen acidosis in cattle. His method of using a combination of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine to treat rumen acidosis in cattle did not prove whether traditional Chinese medicine alone could treat rumen acidosis in cattle.
[0004] Therefore, providing a traditional Chinese medicine composition with good therapeutic effect on rumen acidosis is beneficial to promoting the development of the aquaculture industry. Summary of the Invention

[0058] Example 4
[0059] Comparison of the effects of different Chinese herbal medicine combinations
[0060] 1. To establish an experimental animal model of rumen acidosis in sheep, eight ewes weighing 35kg ± 5kg were selected and divided into a normal group and a model group, with four ewes in each group. The normal group received the same diet as before, consisting of alfalfa hay. The model group was fed a diet with a concentrate-to-roughage ratio of 70:30, consisting of cornmeal and alfalfa hay. The total daily feed for each group was 1.5kg, fed at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with free access to water. Clinical symptoms were observed.
[0061] Approximately 21 hours after the first feeding, the control group showed no abnormalities, and their feces were smooth and granular. Figure 1The model group showed watery, loose stools. Figure 2 Clinical symptoms included reduced rumination, foul-smelling breath, and decreased urination. This confirmed the successful establishment of the model.
[0062] 2. A sheep rumen acidosis experimental model was constructed using the method described in step 1. The experimental models were randomly divided into 4 groups, with 4 sheep in each group. Each group was fed a diet with a concentrate-to-roughage ratio of 70:30, consisting of cornmeal and alfalfa hay. Experimental group 1 ( Figure 3 The powder prepared in Example 1 was added to the experimental group 2 at a rate of 6% of the diet mass. Figure 4 The powder prepared in Example 2 was added to the experimental group 3 at a rate of 6% of the diet mass. Figure 5 The powder prepared in Comparative Example 1 was added at a rate of 6% of the diet mass. Experimental Group 4 ( Figure 6 The control group received no added powder. Each group received a total daily ration of 1.5 kg, fed at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM, with free access to feed and water. In this invention, each experimental sheep used a neck clamp to ensure that each sheep consumed its own feed trough, maintaining a consistent feed intake. The effectiveness of the rumen acidosis prevention experiment was observed by examining fecal morphology and clinical symptoms.
[0063] The results are as follows Figure 7-10 As shown, 24 hours after the first feeding, all four sheep in experimental group 4 developed diarrhea symptoms, presenting with watery loose stools. Figure 10 Furthermore, their exhaled breath had a sour, foul odor, rumination was reduced, and urination was decreased. In experimental group 1, the feces of the four sheep were generally normal in shape. Figure 7 No clinical symptoms were observed. The feces of the four sheep in experimental group 2 were basically normal in appearance. Figure 8 ( ), without clinical symptoms.
[0064] The traditional Chinese medicine composition in Comparative Example 1 was the same as that used by Li Guangjin et al. (Li Guangjin, Wang Lan, Zou Benlian. Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Treatment of Bovine Rumen Acidosis [J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, 2004(01):14.) when treating bovine rumen acidosis with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In Experimental Group 3, 4 sheep consumed the traditional Chinese medicine composition provided in Comparative Example 1. Although no obvious diarrhea symptoms were observed, the feces were in clumps. Figure 9This invention has found that, compared to Comparative Example 1, the herbal composition of this invention, by replacing Atractylodes macrocephala with Atractylodes lancea, exhibits stronger warming and qi-regulating, dampness-resolving and diarrhea-stopping properties. Atractylodes lancea has a strong blood-activating and stasis-removing effect, which helps improve blood circulation, promotes meridian unblocking, and relieves gastrointestinal pain and inflammation. Atractylodes lancea contains more volatile oil components, possessing certain antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, which may provide better relief for some gastrointestinal inflammations and help prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases such as rumen acidosis in sheep. Replacing rhubarb with Paeonia lactiflora, while having a laxative effect, can easily cause adverse reactions such as diarrhea, while Paeonia lactiflora is a milder herb with blood-activating, stasis-removing, calming, and pain-relieving effects, making it more suitable for regulating gastrointestinal function and relieving pain. Replacing Glauber's salt with Coptis chinensis, which has heat-clearing, dampness-drying, fire-purging, and detoxifying effects, more effectively reduces inflammation and kills bacteria, helping to treat rumen acidosis in sheep. This invention also adds patchouli, which has the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, reducing inflammation and fighting bacteria, helping to improve indigestion and prevent gastric acidosis. The newly added L-malic acid and nicotinamide are vitamin-like components that help regulate gastric acid secretion and promote digestion, further contributing to improving indigestion and preventing rumen acidosis. Therefore, this invention is more comprehensive and effective in regulating gastrointestinal function, reducing inflammation and killing bacteria, relieving pain, and preventing rumen acidosis.
[0065] The traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by this invention contains no Western medicine ingredients, but instead includes food-grade L-malic acid and nicotinamide, making it more in line with the requirements of green and healthy animal husbandry. This invention has achieved good results in the prevention and treatment of rumen acidosis in sheep. The method of use is also simpler, eliminating the need for decoction preparation, making it more convenient and efficient. The traditional Chinese medicine composition provided by this invention has good preventive and therapeutic effects on rumen acidosis in sheep.
[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
