Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of animal feed, and more particularly to a natural plant formula grass composition and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Exogenous fever in livestock and poultry is a common exogenous disease in large-scale indoor breeding. It can occur all year round, especially in seasons of alternating cold and hot weather and sudden climate changes, such as early spring and late autumn. It can occur in all kinds of livestock. Exogenous diseases are mostly caused by insufficient internal positive energy, decreased immunity, and invasion by external pathogens. They often cause systemic symptoms such as fever and upper respiratory tract inflammation. In mild cases, it affects the animal's feed intake and production performance. In severe cases, it is prolonged and decreased immunity leads to other infections and death. Therefore, for exogenous diseases, prevention should be the first priority, and nutrition and immunity should be strengthened.

[0003] For exogenous fever, the commonly used Chinese medicines for livestock and poultry prevention and treatment include Jingfang Baidu San, Ma Xing Shi Gan San, etc., which are mainly heat-clearing and detoxifying products, and very cold and bitter products. However, because Chinese medicine is bitter, it is mainly artificially administered, which causes great stress to animals. Adding it to feed will also affect the taste and reduce feeding. At the same time, because there are many very cold Chinese medicines, they cannot be added for a long time for prevention. In addition, with the sharp rise in the price of Chinese medicine raw materials, the cost of Chinese medicine prevention and treatment is also high.

[0004] For exogenous febrile viral diseases, the use of Western medicine is limited, mainly for antipyretics and antibiotics to prevent secondary diseases. However, when the disease is concentrated in large-scale farming, the cost of treatment and manpower investment will increase, and the effect is unstable. In addition, in recent years, due to the increased drug resistance and ecological environmental threats brought by antibiotics, their addition to feed has been banned, and the prevention of large-scale exogenous febrile diseases has also been severely restricted.

[0005] Therefore, there is currently no alternative product that has stable and mild efficacy, can be used for a long time, does not affect the taste of animal diets, is naturally antibiotic-free, residue-free, posed no ecological threat, has a low cost, and has a good preventive effect on exogenous diseases.

[0030] A method for preparing a natural plant formula herb composition, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0031] (1) Weighing the raw materials according to the weight proportions of the above-mentioned natural plant formula herbal composition;

[0032] (2) Mix mulberry leaves, reed roots, platycodon grandiflorum, houttuynia cordata, chrysanthemum, perilla leaves, mint, bitter almonds, liquorice, dandelion, purslane, burdock seeds and red peony root, extract with water to obtain a herbal medicine residue;

[0033] (3) First, the herbal dregs are squeezed and evaporated, and then Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri, Lactobacillus acidophilus and molasses are added, mixed, wrapped, and fermented to obtain a natural herbal silage composition (wrapped silage).

[0034] Furthermore, in the above step (2), the water extraction is performed twice.

[0035] A further beneficial effect of the above method is that after two water extractions, the water extract produced can be used for the production of oral liquid. At the same time, the water extraction process can soften the fibers in the rhizomes of various natural plant formula grass raw materials and degrade cellulose, which is beneficial to improving the digestibility of roughage for animals.

[0036] Furthermore, in the above step (3), the material is extruded and evaporated until the moisture content is reduced to 60%-75% and the temperature is reduced to 40-45° C.; and the fermentation time is more than 1 month.

[0037] The above further beneficial effect is that the moisture content is quickly reduced to 60%-75% by physical extrusion evaporation, and the silage can be directly wrapped and fermented, which is conducive to storage. Because too high moisture content is not easy to store for a long time, it is easy to mold and needs to be dried, which is more expensive. When the moisture content is reduced to 60%-75% by physical extrusion evaporation, the silage is directly wrapped, which is not only conducive to the utilization of ruminants such as cattle and sheep, but also can reduce the energy consumption caused by drying, and appropriately alleviate the pressure of high drying costs.

[0038] The present invention also claims the use of the above-mentioned natural plant formula grass composition or the natural plant formula grass composition obtained by the above-mentioned preparation method in ruminant breeding. The natural plant formula grass composition obtained by the above-mentioned preparation method of the present invention is a wrapped silage product, which can be directly used as roughage to replace corn silage and other roughages in ruminant breeding, and the added mass percentage in the roughage of ruminants such as cattle and sheep is 10%-40%.

[0039] A method for preparing a natural plant formula herb composition, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0040] (1) Weighing the raw materials according to the weight proportions of the above-mentioned natural plant formula herbal composition;

[0041] (2) Mix mulberry leaves, reed roots, platycodon grandiflorum, houttuynia cordata, chrysanthemum, perilla leaves, mint, bitter almonds, liquorice, dandelion, purslane, burdock seeds and red peony root, extract with water to obtain a herbal medicine residue;

[0042] (3) First, the herbal dregs are dried, crushed, and sieved, and then Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus buchneri, and Lactobacillus acidophilus are added and mixed to obtain a natural herbal dregs composition (powder).

[0043] Furthermore, in the above step (2), the water extraction is performed twice.

[0044] A further beneficial effect of the above method is that after two water extractions, the water extract produced can be used for the production of oral liquid. At the same time, the water extraction process can soften the fibers in the rhizomes of various natural plant formula grass raw materials and degrade cellulose, which is beneficial to improving the digestibility of roughage for animals.

[0045] Furthermore, in the above step (3), the drying temperature is 60° C. and the drying time is 15-30 min, until the moisture content of the material drops below 14%; and the mesh size of the sieve is 40-50 mesh.

[0046] The above further beneficial effect is that since the moisture content is too high, it is not easy to store for a long time and it is easy to mold, so the moisture content of the dried material needs to be reduced to below 14% before it can be stored for a long time. Screening after crushing can improve the uniformity of the product, so that pigs, poultry and other animals can better eat and absorb it, which is conducive to the function of the product.

[0047] The present invention also claims the use of the above natural plant formula grass composition or the natural plant formula grass composition obtained by the above preparation method in pig and poultry farming. The natural plant formula grass composition obtained by the above preparation method of the present invention is a powder product, which can be directly used as a feed raw material for the breeding of pigs, poultry and other animals, and the added mass percentage in the complete feed of pigs, poultry and other animals is 2%.

[0048] It can be seen from the above technical solution that compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0092] The test period was 60 days. The concentrate and feeding management methods were the same. The palatability of the natural plant formula grass composition (wrapped silage) fed to beef cattle was observed, and the feeding conditions, health status and other indicators of the natural plant formula grass composition (wrapped silage) after feeding to beef cattle were evaluated.

[0093] Table 3: Forage formula for each 500kg beef cattle

[0094]

[0095] The test results are as follows:

[0096] (1) Palatability evaluation

[0097] The amount of forage was provided based on 12 cattle per group, and the feeding situation of cattle in each group was counted. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0098] Table 4 Feeding situation of beef cattle

[0099] Group Group A Group B Group C Average grass feeding amount kg / d 120.0 120.0 120.0 Average amount of residual grass kg / d 47.5 16.2 7.3 Average daily forage intake kg / d / head 7.25 10.38 11.27

[0100] As shown in Table 4, group C is better than group B in palatability, and both are better than control group A. The amount of leftover feed in test groups B and C is significantly lower than that in control group A. Since the cattle are in a period of high incidence of cold, the impact of external infection on the feed intake of beef cattle is also more obvious, especially the control group A, while the test groups B and C are basically unaffected, and the daily forage intake of each head is guaranteed to be above 10 kg. It can be seen that the natural plant formula grass composition of the present invention has good palatability.

[0101] (2) Health status assessment

[0102] The test time was selected in the season of alternating cold and heat, when exogenous diseases were prone to occur. When there were symptoms such as red eyes and tears, runny nose, elevated body temperature or cough, it was determined to be an exogenous disease, and the course of the disease was recorded. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0103] Table 5: Disease incidence of exogenous diseases in beef cattle

[0104] Group Group A Group B Group C Total number of cattle / head 10 10 10 Red eyes / tears 4 1 0 Runny nose / head 6 1 0 Fever / headache 4 0 0 Cough / Head 5 0 0 Loss of appetite / headache 7 1 0 Total number of exogenous diseases / head 7 1 0 Average duration of illness / day 6.3 3 0

[0105] As shown in Table 5, in the season when exogenous fever diseases are prone to occur, the incidence of the two test groups B and C is significantly lower than that of the control group A, and the course of the disease is significantly shorter, the symptoms are mild, and the recovery is fast. Among them, group C is better than group B, and both are better than the control group A. This may be due to the fact that the antiviral ability of beef cattle in the group added with the natural plant formula grass composition (wrapped silage) is improved, and the immunity is enhanced, so the incidence is less and the recovery is fast. It can be seen that the natural plant formula grass composition of the present invention has a significant preventive effect on exogenous fever diseases.

[0106] The above fattening beef cattle feeding test shows that the natural plant formula grass composition of the present invention has a good preventive effect on exogenous fever symptoms. Considering the use cost and palatability, the effect of test group C (Example 2) is the best.

[0107] 4. The natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Example 3-4 was used for summer feeding test of eliminated Hy-Line brown laying hens.

[0108] The test subjects were 105 Hailan brown laying hens eliminated at the age of 78 days (eliminated due to weight failure), and the time was selected in the summer and the period before and after the heat stress was higher (March-August 2024). Qinle laying reserve chicken compound (granular) feed was used in the adolescence, and Qinle laying compound feed was used after the start of production. The laying hens were divided into 3 groups, namely the control group, test group 1 and test group 2, each with 35 chickens, and three-layer cages were used; the control group was fed conventional feed, and the test group 1 was fed with 2% of the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Example 3 on the basis of conventional feed, and the test group 2 was fed with 2% of the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Example 4 on the basis of conventional feed.

[0109] The test period was from 78 days of age (12 weeks) to 259 days of age (37 weeks), with a pre-test period of 7 days and a full test period of 175 days. During the pre-test period, the feed amount of each group was gradually increased to 2%, and other feeding conditions were the same. The feeding effect of the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) on laying hens was evaluated by indicators such as body weight, age at first laying, egg production rate, egg quality, and mortality.

[0110] Test results:

[0111] (1) Weight changes of laying hens during the egg-laying period

[0112] Table 6 Weight changes of laying hens during the egg-laying period

[0113] Weekend 11 to 16 Control group Test Group 1 Test Group 2 11 Weekend average weight / kg 0.705 0.706 0.695 16 Weekend average weight / kg 1.168 1.260 1.242 Total weight gain / kg 0.463 0.555 0.547 Increase ratio / % 65.63 78.58 78.67 Average daily weight gain / g 12.506 14.988 14.780 Average daily feed intake / g 79.36 79.65 74.91 Average feed to meat ratio 6.35 5.31 5.07

[0114] As shown in Table 6, the overall weight growth of the eliminated chickens was delayed (about 1-2 weeks), but the total weight gain, increase rate, average daily weight gain, average feed intake and feed-to-meat ratio of the experimental groups 1 and 2 were better than those of the control group. Among them, the increase rate and feed-to-meat ratio of the experimental group 2 were better than those of the experimental group 1.

[0115] (2) Age at first calving

[0116] Table 7 Age of first laying

[0117] Group Control group Test Group 1 Test Group 2 Age at first calving 143 131 129

[0118] As shown in Table 7, the start of laying of the eliminated chickens was generally delayed, but the start of laying of the experimental groups 1 and 2 was about 2 weeks earlier than that of the control group. Among them, the start of laying of the experimental group 2 was the earliest, which was better than the experimental group 1.

[0119] (3) Egg-laying performance

[0120] Table 8 Egg laying rate

[0121]

[0122] As shown in Table 8, the time when the egg production rate of test group 1 and test group 2 reached 50% was earlier than that of the control group, and the peak egg production rates of test group 1 and test group 2 during the test period were 73.88% and 75%, respectively, both higher than 64.29% of the control group. During the high temperature heat stress in summer, the egg production rate of the control group decreased and fluctuated more, while the fluctuations of test group 1 and test group 2 were relatively small. Among them, the effect of test group 2 was better than that of test group 1.

[0123] The above experiments show that the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Examples 3-4 can significantly improve the egg production rate of laying hens.

[0124] Table 9 Total number of eggs laid, total egg weight and average egg weight

[0125]

[0126]

[0127] As shown in Table 9, the total number of eggs, total egg weight and average egg weight of Experimental Group 1 and Experimental Group 2 were higher than those of the control group. Among them, the effect of Experimental Group 2 was better than that of Experimental Group 1.

[0128] The above experiments show that the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Examples 3-4 can significantly improve the production performance of laying hens.

[0129] (4) Egg quality

[0130] Table 10 Eggshell thickness

[0131]

[0132] Table 11 Egg yolk weight

[0133]

[0134] It can be seen from Tables 10-11 that the eggshell thickness and yolk weight of Experimental Group 1 and Experimental Group 2 were significantly higher than those of the control group, and the effect of Experimental Group 2 was better.

[0135] The above experiments show that the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Examples 3-4 can significantly improve the egg quality of laying hens.

[0136] (5) Mortality

[0137] Table 12 Mortality

[0138] Group Control group Test Group 1 Test Group 2 Deaths 4 1 0 Heat stress mortality / % 11.4 2.9 0

[0139] As shown in Table 12, the mortality rates of Experimental Group 1 and Experimental Group 2 were lower than that of the control group, and the effect of Experimental Group 2 was better.

[0140] The above experiments show that the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Examples 3-4 can greatly reduce the mortality rate of laying hens during the heat stress period.

[0141] In summary, the above experiments show that the application of the natural plant formula grass composition (powder) prepared in Examples 3-4 on Hy-Line brown laying hens can increase the weight gain of reserve laying hens, reduce the feed-to-meat ratio, enable laying hens to start laying earlier, improve the production performance and egg quality of laying hens, and reduce the mortality rate caused by heat stress. Among them, the product of Example 4 has better effect.
