Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of feed additives, and in particular relates to a feed additive for improving intramuscular fat deposition in the late fattening period of Holstein steers, and an application and method thereof. Background Art
[0002] As consumers' living standards improve, people have higher and higher requirements for beef quality, and marbled beef rich in intramuscular fat deposition has begun to be favored by more consumers. Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is an important indicator for evaluating the grade of marbled beef. IMF content is closely related to quality indicators such as beef juiciness, flavor and meat color. The higher the IMF content, the higher the beef marbling (BMS) grade {Japanese Feeding Standards • Beef Cattle (2008 edition, translated by Cao Binghai, 1st edition, December 2009, page 89)}. In addition to breed and gender factors, the factors that affect the intramuscular fat deposition of beef cattle can also achieve the effect of promoting IMF deposition through feed nutrition regulation technology in the late fattening period.
[0003] Studies have shown that Holstein steers can produce marbled beef by straight fattening until 18 months of age. However, the weight gain rate begins to decline at 15 months of age, and the IMF deposition capacity begins to increase, including the deposition of subcutaneous and visceral fat. In view of this, how to further improve the BMS grade of Holstein steers in the late fattening period and reduce the deposition of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat through nutritional regulation technology is a very important issue, but there are no reports of additives and methods in the prior art that can effectively increase the deposition of intramuscular fat in steers between 15 and 18 months of age.

[0035] In order to improve the marbled beef grade (BMS) of 18-month-old Holstein steers, how to further improve the BMS grade of Holstein steers in the late fattening period (15-18 months old) through nutritional regulation technology, and reduce the deposition of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat in the late fattening period of Holstein steers, is of great significance for improving the fattening production performance, beef quality, and economic benefits of Holstein steers. After a large number of experiments, it was found that on the basis of a high-nutrient concentration diet, through the synergistic effect of GAA and Met, vitamin C (VC), vitamin E (VE), complex B vitamins (VB), rumen fat and glucose, the protein and energy status of Holstein steers can be effectively regulated, the ability to synthesize muscle protein and the ability to deposit intramuscular fat can be improved, the synthesis of subcutaneous fat can be reduced, and the intramuscular fat content of steers in the late fattening period can be increased.
[0036] Methionine (Met) used in the present invention: Met is the main limiting amino acid for the growth of most animals and participates in the body's protein metabolism. Supplementing Met in the diet can promote protein synthesis and cell proliferation and differentiation, and then promote the development of animal skeletal muscle, thereby effectively improving the meat production performance of animals, and can provide methyl for GAA to synthesize creatine. A large number of experimental studies have found that when the amount of Met added can cause a series of diseases such as animal growth inhibition and protein synthesis disorders, it can cause death in severe cases; because it is an essential amino acid for protein synthesis, too low a content will affect protein synthesis and reduce feed conversion efficiency; combined with the results of feeding tests, the preferred amount of methionine is 10 to 25 parts, and further, 10 to 22 parts is preferred.
[0037] Guanidine acetic acid (GAA): GAA can stimulate the hypothalamus by increasing the secretion of γ-aminobutyric acid in the body, promote the secretion of growth hormone-releasing hormone in the hypothalamus, and then promote the secretion of growth hormone by the pituitary gland, thus promoting the growth of animals; it can also increase the secretion of insulin in the body and increase feed intake. GAA is also the only precursor of creatine, and creatine needs to be synthesized with the participation of methyl donors and methyltransferases. However, studies have found that when the amount of GAA added exceeds 660ppm, methyltransferases no longer participate in metabolic synthesis, and the passage rate of GAA in the rumen is about 50%. Experiments have shown that the amount of GAA added to ruminant feed is 0.06~0.12% under the premise of methyl donors. Therefore, the preferred amount of GAA is 5~25 parts, and the preferred amount of GAA is 8~20 parts.
[0038] VC: It has antioxidant effects. Studies have found that adding VC can participate in the metabolism of cholesterol, amino acids and hormones, enhance immune function, and effectively secrete insulin.
[0039] VE: It has antioxidant and immunity-enhancing effects, promotes growth, and especially improves the antioxidant capacity of marbled beef.
[0040] VB group: related to a variety of catalytic enzymes, related to the energy metabolism of the nervous system and the synthesis of fatty acids and cholesterol in cell membranes, and is also a coenzyme for enzymes related to the synthesis of methionine.
[0041] Bypassed rumen fat and glucose: can improve the efficiency of intramuscular fat deposition. Studies have found that adding fat and glucose to the diet can significantly increase the fat content of the longissimus dorsi muscle, but it will reduce the body's antioxidant capacity. With the addition of glucose, the proportion of fatty acid synthesis in muscle tissue is greater than that in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Excessive amounts of added bypassed rumen fat and glucose will lead to increased feed costs and increase the risk of rumen poisoning. Therefore, the preferred amount of bypassed rumen fat is 10 to 35 parts, and the further preferred amount of bypassed rumen fat is 15 to 30 parts; the preferred amount of glucose is 10 to 35 parts, and the further preferred amount of glucose is 15 to 25 parts.
[0042] The following examples are used to further illustrate the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and substance of the present invention, modifications or substitutions made to the present invention all belong to the scope of the present invention.

Different lowercase letters on the shoulders of the same number in the table indicate significant differences (P<0.05). The higher the marbling grade, the higher the intramuscular fat content and the better the beef quality.
[0056] As shown in Table 3, the differences between Group 3 and Group 4 and Group 1 and Group 2 were significant (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between Group 3 and Group 4, with Group 3 having the highest marbling grade.

[0071] The results show that there is no significant difference in the effect of the combination of GAA and methionine in Comparative Example 1 and VC, VB and VE and substances for increasing fat synthesis, rumen fat and glucose, on intramuscular fat deposition in Comparative Example 2. On the basis of GAA and methionine, the addition of rumen fat and glucose can also significantly improve the efficiency of intramuscular fat deposition. When GAA and methionine are not added to the diet, subcutaneous fat deposition is large and the marbling of the formed beef is not good. When the additive is prepared with guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), methionine, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B complex, rumen fat and glucose, marbled beef of grade 3.57 can be produced, which is significantly different from Comparative Examples 1 and 2, and significantly different from Comparative Examples 3 and 4. It can be seen that the feed additive prepared by guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), methionine, vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin B complex, rumen fat and glucose in the present invention produces a synergistic gain effect and obtains a better muscle fat deposition effect.
