Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of straw utilization, and in particular relates to a rice straw fermentation method and fermented feed. Background Art
[0002] my country is a major rice-growing country in the world. In 2023, China's rice planting area will be 299.20 thousand hectares, and the rice output will be 212.84 million tons. According to statistics, my country can produce 900 million tons of straw each year, of which rice straw is about 200 million tons, and the resources are abundant. As people's demand for meat, milk and eggs increases, the demand for food has also increased significantly. In this way, more and more food is used to feed livestock, affecting the food self-sufficiency rate. However, the prices of food resources such as corn and soybeans remain high. The development of non-grain feed resources is one of the effective means to alleviate the contradiction of "people and animals competing for food".
[0003] Dry straw has a rough texture and poor palatability. It has almost no value in feeding monogastric animals directly. Dry straw is often fed directly to ruminants as roughage, mainly to maintain the normal function of the rumen. The utilization rate is low and the feeding potential has not been fully tapped. According to measurements, the dry matter content of naturally air-dried rice straw is 89.2-91.4%, with 3.7-4.1% crude protein, 2.7-3.3% crude fat, and 61.5-64.1% crude fiber on a dry matter basis. Reducing the fiber content and improving the feed conversion rate have become urgent problems to be solved in the conversion of straw into a grain.
[0004] Straw pretreatment mainly changes the physical and chemical properties of straw, increases the surface area of straw, destroys the chemical bonds between cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, and reduces the crystallization of cellulose, thereby improving the degradation efficiency of straw. Physical methods mainly include mechanical treatment (grinding and extrusion), irradiation treatment, high temperature and electrolysis, etc., which can effectively increase the contact area of straw, but are still limited in improving the fiber degradation rate. Chemical pretreatment mainly includes acid pretreatment, alkali pretreatment, ionic liquid pretreatment, etc., which can effectively break the structure of lignocellulose, but acid and alkali liquids are easy to pollute the environment and cause difficulties for subsequent biological utilization. Biological pretreatment mainly treats straw through microorganisms, shortens the subsequent anaerobic fermentation time, and increases the amount of straw products generated.
[0005] Chinese patent application CN109938158A discloses a method for preparing biological feed by micro-storage fermentation of rice straw, which uses rice straw as raw material, obtains fermented feed after fermentation treatment, and the feed can be stored for a long time. However, CN109938158A does not effectively solve the problem of excessively high cellulose and lignin content in rice straw, and the preparation time is relatively long. The strains of the above method need to be cultured for 2-10 days, and the rice is cut into 3 cm pieces, and then the bacterial solution is inoculated and mixed evenly, and then anaerobic fermentation is carried out, and the fermentation takes 25-30 days. The obtained fermented feed can be stored for a long time, but it does not solve the problem of high crude fiber content in rice straw, which is time-consuming and has low resource utilization. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a fermented straw production method. The present invention not only effectively removes crude fiber, hemicellulose and lignin components, but also makes the fermented rice straw feed fragrant in sensory evaluation, and the production method is simple, time-saving and cost-effective.

[0008] The chopped rice straw in step (2) is placed in a high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization bag with air holes, and steamed at 121° C. for 20 minutes. After steaming, the straw is wrung dry to remove most of the moisture.
[0009] In step (4), the temperature is 23° C., ultrasound is used for assistance, and the process is carried out with a plastic wrap for 1 hour.
[0010] In step (7), the moisture content of the crude straw is adjusted to 55%.
[0011] In step (7), the bacterial species are Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Enterococcus faecalis. After activation and purification, single colonies of Bacillus subtilis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae are picked and cultured in LB medium or YPD medium at 37°C and 200 rpm for 12 h to obtain Bacillus subtilis fermentation broth and Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation broth. After activation and purification of Enterococcus faecalis, a single colony was picked and placed in MRS medium for static culture for 12 hours, and then the activated fermentation broth was added to 5% of the total system and mixed, the enzyme preparation was added in an amount of 0.1%, the enzyme activity was 10U / g, and an appropriate amount of water was added and mixed evenly to obtain a mixed fermentation broth; Bacillus subtilis ZJUFA-1 is an existing strain, which is deposited in the General Microbiology Center of China National Microbiological Culture Collection Administration, and the deposit number is CGMCC NO: 12823; the brewer's yeast is an existing strain, purchased from the General Microbiology Center of China National Microbiological Culture Collection Administration, and the strain catalog number is: 2.3973; Enterococcus faecalis ZJUAF-4 is an existing strain, and the deposit number of the General Microbiology Center of China National Microbiological Culture Collection Administration is CGMCC NO: 16767; the complex enzyme preparation is composed of the following enzymes: xylanase 8000 IU / g, protease 11000 IU / g, β-glucanase 5000 IU / g, cellulase 3000 IU / g, pectinase 1500 IU / g, mannanase 300 IU / g, and galactosidase 200 IU / g.
