Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of feed additives, and in particular to a feed additive for improving the egg-laying performance and egg quality of Snow White chickens in plain areas and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Snow White chickens are the first new layer chicken breed independently cultivated in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Their appearance, body weight, uniformity, and production performance can well meet the breeding needs of the plateau area at an altitude of 2,800 - 4,200 meters. However, the climate conditions in the plateau area are cold and dry, and the planted vegetation is relatively single. Affected by the climate conditions in the plateau area and the shortage of feed raw materials, the growth of Tibetan chickens is relatively slow. After laying eggs, Snow White chickens need to rest for 1 - 4 days, resulting in a low egg production rate, which severely restricts the in-depth development of peripheral products of Snow White chicken eggs.

[0003] With the deepening of the cooperation between Shandong and Tibet, Snow White chickens have begun to be introduced into the plain areas of Shandong. Although the climate conditions have been greatly improved and there is an abundant supply of feed raw materials, there are still problems such as low egg production rate and poor egg quality in Snow White chickens. At the same time, the Snow White chicken flock is prone to stress symptoms such as timidity, aggressiveness, and low altitude reaction, which are extremely likely to cause individual injuries, and the egg-laying performance of the chicken flock is low, and problems such as poor egg quality (such as thin eggshells and low albumen height) often occur. Currently, the prior art has not disclosed a feed additive specifically targeting the characteristics of Snow White chickens to specifically improve the aforementioned problems of Snow White chickens. Therefore, providing a feed additive for improving the egg-laying performance and egg quality of Snow White chickens in plain areas can not only improve the egg-laying performance of the Snow White chicken flock, but also improve the egg quality such as the egg flavor of Snow White chickens, which has important technical significance.

[0004] Existing methods for improving the egg-laying performance and egg quality of laying hens usually directly add traditional Chinese medicine ultrafine powder to the feed, or add a combination of traditional Chinese medicine ultrafine powder and fermented soybean meal to the feed. However, to obtain the desired effect, a large dose needs to be added. The palatability of the added traditional Chinese medicine ultrafine powder is poor, which affects the feed intake of laying hens, and there are secondary hazards such as pesticide residues. Further, although the fermented soybean meal used can improve the palatability to a certain extent, the fermented soybean meal is rich in active ingredients and has high activity, which will directly affect the stability of the active ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine ultrafine powder and reduce the application effect of the active ingredients in the traditional Chinese medicine ultrafine powder. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a feed additive for improving the egg-laying performance and egg quality of Snow White chickens in plain areas and a preparation method thereof, which can effectively improve the egg-laying performance of the Snow White chicken flock under the condition of low addition dose, effectively improve the egg quality and flavor of Snow White chickens, and the feed additive has good palatability, no secondary hazards such as pesticide residues, and can effectively avoid the problem that the activity of fermented soybean meal affects the stability of active ingredients and reduces their application effect.

In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0025] An embodiment of the present invention provides a preparation method of a feed additive for improving the egg production performance and egg quality of snow-white chickens in plain areas, which consists of the following steps: preparing the first component, preparing the second component, and mixing the preparations.

[0026] The method for preparing the first component is as follows: Put limonene, curcumin, Tween-20, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose into deionized water and stir for 20 - 40 minutes to obtain an active ingredient solution; put β-cyclodextrin and arabic gum into deionized water and stir for 30 - 50 minutes to obtain an inclusion solution; put the active ingredient solution into the inclusion solution, control the ultrasonic dispersion frequency at 30 - 33 kHz and the ultrasonic dispersion power at 450 - 550 W, perform ultrasonic dispersion for 60 - 90 minutes, then cool down to 2 - 7 °C, keep warm and stand for 4 - 6 hours, and then centrifuge at 8000 - 9000 rpm to obtain a solid; after drying the solid in an environment with a vacuum degree of 0.05 - 0.07 MPa and a temperature of 75 - 80 °C, the first component is prepared.

[0027] In the preparation of the first component, the weight ratio of limonene, curcumin, Tween-20, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and deionized water in the active ingredient solution is 9.2 - 9.6:0.35 - 0.45:0.2 - 0.25:0.1 - 0.12:100;

[0028] The weight ratio of β-cyclodextrin, arabic gum, and deionized water in the inclusion solution is 15 - 16:3 - 3.6:100;

[0029] The volume ratio of the active ingredient solution to the inclusion solution is 1:1.8 - 2.

[0030] In the preparation of the first component, limonene and curcumin are used as active ingredients, and according to the characteristics of limonene and curcumin, they are combined with Tween-20 and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose to prepare active ingredient liquid; β-cyclodextrin and gum arabic are used to prepare inclusion liquid; the active ingredient liquid and the inclusion liquid are mixed and included to prepare the inclusion compound.

[0031] Among them, limonene, also known as limonene, is extracted from Zanthoxylum bungeanum and has the effects of calming the nerves, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. Limonene inhibits methamphetamine-induced motor nerve activity by enhancing 5-hydroxytryptamine expression and reducing dopamine release, reduces excessive neuronal excitation, and has a calming and tranquilizing effect. The present invention is based on the characteristics of Snowy White Chicken, and by selecting limonene and other active ingredients, the hypogenic symptoms of Snowy White Chicken can be effectively alleviated.

[0032] Curcumin is extracted from turmeric, and can inhibit the secretion of cytokines, especially the production of interleukin-2, inhibit the damage of aflatoxin to the liver and kidney of chickens, increase the level of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT), improve the antioxidant effect, reduce the stress on the heart of snowy white chickens in the high oxygen environment of the plains, and enhance the protective effect on the heart. The present invention is aimed at the characteristics of snowy white chickens, and by selecting curcumin and other active ingredients, it has a significant effect on increasing the weight of snowy white eggs, improving the protein height, Haugh unit and yolk index.

[0033] The method for preparing the second component comprises the following steps: adding soybean oil, walnut oil, soybean lecithin, Tween-20, phytic acid, and phospholipid-polyethylene glycol 2000 (DSPE-PEG2000) into a high-speed mixer, completely replacing the air in the reactor with nitrogen, stirring and heating to 50-55° C. under nitrogen protection, keeping the temperature and stirring for 20-40 minutes, continuously adding limonin and astaxanthin, keeping the temperature and stirring for 20-40 minutes, continuously adding deionized water and glycerol, and stirring evenly to obtain a primary emulsion; then transferring the primary emulsion into a high-pressure homogenizer, controlling the homogenization temperature to 40-45° C., the homogenization pressure to 30-35 MPa, and the homogenization time to 20-30 minutes, and adjusting the pH to neutral after high-pressure homogenization treatment to obtain a composite emulsion; and spray drying the composite emulsion to obtain the second component.

[0034] In the preparation of the second component, the weight ratio of soybean oil, walnut oil, soybean lecithin, Tween-20, phytic acid, phospholipid-polyethylene glycol 2000, limonin, astaxanthin, deionized water and glycerol is 80-85:13-15:8-9:0.4-0.5:0.8-1:2.3-2.5:9.5-10:0.16-0.2:150-170:19-21.

[0035] In the preparation of the second component, with limonin and astaxanthin as active ingredients, in view of the characteristics of limonin and astaxanthin, soybean oil and walnut oil are used as the oil-phase components, lecithin is used as the first emulsifier, Tween-20 is used as the second emulsifier, phytic acid is used as the morphology control agent, and phospholipid-polyethylene glycol 2000 is used to conduct chylomicron dispersion coating on the active ingredients limonin and astaxanthin, and then the second component is obtained.

[0036] Among them, limonin in tangerine peel is an important substance that causes bitterness, has strong biological activity, is a plant secondary metabolite, and has effects such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral. In view of the characteristics of Xueyu white chickens, the present invention selects limonin to cooperate with other active ingredients, which helps Xueyu white chickens digest and absorb feed.

[0037] Astaxanthin is a highly efficient natural antioxidant, which has the functions of enhancing immunity, strengthening aerobic metabolism, and reducing the effect of aflatoxin. In view of the characteristics of Xueyu white chickens, the present invention selects astaxanthin to cooperate with other active ingredients, which can effectively extend the laying period of Xueyu white chickens, and has a good effect on improving the yolk color and taste; at the same time, it can also extend the shelf life of the eggs of Xueyu white chickens.

[0038] The method for the mixed feed preparation is that the first component, the second component, nootkatone, and fermented soybean meal are put into a high-speed mixer according to the weight ratio of 26-29:600-630:10-12:1400-1500 and mixed evenly to obtain a feed additive for improving the laying performance and egg quality of Xueyu white chickens in plain areas.

[0039] Among them, nootkatone contained in grapefruit peel is widely used in the spice industry, and it has significant effects in mosquito repellent, insect repellent, inflammation elimination, and flavor enhancement; in view of the characteristics of Xueyu white chickens, the present invention selects nootkatone to cooperate with other active ingredients, which can effectively promote the appetite of Xueyu white chickens, increase feed intake, and reduce the occurrence of stress reactions in Xueyu white chickens.

[0040] Fermented soybean meal is a biological feed obtained by using microbial fermentation technology, with soybean meal widely used in the aquaculture industry as the raw material and Chinese prickly ash meal as the auxiliary material through fermentation; the microbial fermentation technology can eliminate various anti-nutritional factors such as protease inhibitors, tannins, and phytic acid in soybean meal, degrade soybean protein into small peptides and small molecule proteins, which is more conducive to the absorption and utilization of Xueyu white chickens, and at the same time effectively improves the palatability of soybean meal, which is more beneficial to the production of Xueyu white chickens.

[0041] By combining the first component, the second component, nootkatone, and fermented soybean meal, the present invention can effectively improve the egg-laying performance of the snow-white chickens in the snowy region under the condition of low addition dosage, and effectively improve the egg quality and flavor of the snow-white chickens in the snowy region; moreover, the feed additive has good palatability and no secondary hazards such as pesticide residues; at the same time, according to the characteristics of each active ingredient, limonene and curcumin are specifically selected for inclusion treatment. While improving the stability of limonene and curcumin, the synergistic application effect of the two is improved, and the adverse effects of the activity of fermented soybean meal on limonene and curcumin are effectively avoided, and the combined application effect of the first component and other raw materials is improved; limonin and astaxanthin are specifically selected for chylomicron dispersion coating treatment. While improving the stability of limonin and astaxanthin, the synergistic application effect of the two is improved, and the adverse effects of the activity of fermented soybean meal on limonin and astaxanthin are effectively avoided, and the combined application effect of the second component and other raw materials is improved.

[0042] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a feed additive for improving the egg-laying performance and egg quality of snow-white chickens in the plain area, which is prepared by the foregoing preparation method.

The first to third groups were administered the feed additives in Examples 1-3 by single-dose gavage at 40 g / kg, and the fourth group was administered an equal amount of normal saline by single-dose gavage; the administration was carried out 2 times with an interval of 7 h between administrations. After administration, the chickens were continuously observed for 7 days, and the toxic reactions and death numbers of Snowy White Chickens in each group were recorded.

[0086] After observation, after the Snowy White Chickens in the first to third groups were administered, there were no significant differences compared with the control group (the fourth group); the spirit, behavior, feeding, etc. of the Snowy White Chickens in the first to third groups were normal, and no deaths occurred. Therefore, the feed additive that improves the egg-laying performance and egg quality of Snowy White Chickens in plain areas of the present invention has low acute toxicity and is safe for clinical use.

[0087] Test Example 2

[0088] A long-term toxicity experiment was carried out using the feed additive that improves the egg-laying performance and egg quality of Snowy White Chickens in plain areas in Examples 1-3. Specifically:

[0089] The technical solution of the present invention is a special feed additive for Snowy White Chickens, so Snowy White Chickens were selected as test animals. To guide the rational use in clinical practice, after continuous mixing and feeding (administration) for 16 days, the mixing and feeding (drug withdrawal) was stopped for 16 days to evaluate its safety.

[0090] Select 150 one-day-old Snowy White Chickens weighing 45 - 50 g and randomly divide them into 6 groups (i.e., high, medium, and low dose groups and corresponding dose control groups), with 25 chickens in each group. Among them, for groups 1 - 3, the feed additive of Example 2 was used for mixing and feeding at addition amounts of 20 wt%, 8 wt%, and 1 wt% respectively; for groups 4 - 6, normal saline was used for mixing and feeding at addition amounts of 20 wt%, 8 wt%, and 1 wt% respectively; and they were fed according to the normal feeding method.

[0091] The experiment was continuously carried out for 16 days. Every day, the mental state, behavior, etc. of the Snowy White Chickens in each group were observed and recorded, and they were weighed on the 16th day of mixing and feeding (administering the drug) and the 16th day after stopping mixing and feeding (withdrawing the drug) respectively.

[0092] The effects of the feed additive of the present invention on the health status, mental state, and behavior of Snowy White Chickens: Through the experiment, the Snowy White Chickens in groups 1 - 3 fed with the feed additive of Example 2 by mixing were able to move freely during the drug administration period, and there were no abnormalities in eating, excretion, and other behaviors, and no toxic reactions were seen; no adverse reactions occurred after continuously observing for 16 days after withdrawing the drug; this indicates that the feed additive of the present invention will not cause obvious adverse effects on Snowy White Chickens.

[0093] The effects of the feed additive of the present invention on the body weight of Snowy White Chickens: They were weighed twice during the experiment, and the average body weight of the Snowy White Chickens in each group on the 16th day of drug administration and the 16th day after withdrawing the drug was calculated respectively; the specific situation is shown in the following table:

[0094]

[0095] As can be seen from the above table, when using the feed additive of the present invention for mixing and feeding, on the 16th day of drug administration, the average body weight of the control group was 142.98 g, the average body weight of the high dose group (20 wt%) was 142.22 g, the average body weight of the medium dose group (8 wt%) was 143.71 g, and the average body weight of the low dose group (1 wt%) was 147.90 g, and there were no significant differences among the groups; on the 16th day after withdrawing the drug, the average body weight of the control group was 318.19 g, the average body weight of the high dose group (20 wt%) was 316.23 g, the average body weight of the medium dose group (8 wt%) was 318.21 g, and the average body weight of the low dose group (1 wt%) was 325.71 g, and there were no significant differences among the groups.

[0096] Test Example 3

[0097] The feed additives for improving the egg production performance and egg quality of Snowy White Chickens in plain areas of Examples 1 - 3 were respectively used for the egg production test of 250 - day - old Snowy White Chickens. Specifically:

[0098] The experiment was conducted in a laying hen farm in Weifang City, Shandong Province. 200 Snow White chickens at 250 days of age with good body conditions were selected and randomly divided into 4 treatment groups, with 5 replicates in each treatment group and 10 chickens in each replicate. Among them, in the 1st - 3rd groups (experimental group 1, experimental group 2, experimental group 3), the feed additives of Examples 1 - 3 were used respectively, and 2 wt% of the feed additive was added to each kilogram of the basal diet for feeding; the 4th group (blank control group) was fed only with the basal diet.

[0099] The experiment lasted for 50 days, with the first 8 days being the adaptation period. The basal diet was formulated according to the "Feeding Standard of Chickens" (NY / T 33 - 2020). The composition and nutrient levels of the basal diet (air - dried basis) are shown in the following table:

[0100]

[0101] Note: 1) Each kilogram of premix provides 180000 IU of vitamin A, 60000 IU of vitamin D3, 285 IU of vitamin E, 55 mg of vitamin K3, 23 mg of vitamin B1, 120 mg of vitamin B2, 61 mg of vitamin B6, 0.3 mg of vitamin B12, 470 mg of nicotinamide, 205 mg of pantothenic acid, 15.6 mg of folic acid, 1.0 mg of D - biotin, 7 g of choline chloride, 1.2 g of Fe, 0.3 g of Cu, 1.5 g of Zn, 1.6 g of Mn, 40 mg of I, 6 mg of Se, 15.0% of Ca, 7.0% of P, 5.0% of calcium chloride, 2.8% of DL - methionine and methionine hydroxy analog. 2) The nutrient levels are all calculated values.

[0102] During the experiment, the mental state of each group of chickens was observed and recorded. The number of eggs laid and the egg weight were counted in units of replicates, and the egg - laying performance indexes (average egg - laying rate, average egg weight) were calculated. At the end of the experiment (when the Snow White chickens were fed to 300 days of age), 5 eggs were randomly selected from each replicate in each group to measure the egg quality indexes (including egg weight, yolk ratio, albumen height, yolk index, etc.), egg nutrition indexes (including egg white protein, yolk fat), and the average values were taken; and the egg flavor was measured. To measure the egg flavor, 5 non - smoking volunteers with a light diet were invited to receive basic training in sensory science theory and basic training in sensory analysis practice, and learn the methods of sensory analysis and evaluation; the eggs for tasting were numbered and then put into a pot, added with an appropriate amount of cold water, boiled for another 5 minutes after the water boiled, taken out and cooled to room temperature, and cut into small pieces for tasting; the tasting personnel evaluated the cooked eggs of each group in terms of appearance, egg white color, yolk color, egg fragrance, fishy smell, sweetness, saltiness, hardness, elasticity, wetness and fineness. The tasting interval for each group of eggs was to rinse the mouth with clean water. The scoring used a 10 - point system, and the higher the score, the better the degree of each index. Each tasting personnel independently and blindly scored each index of each group of eggs to avoid communication and discussion.

[0103] Statistical analysis: After the experimental data were processed using Excel 2013 software, one-way analysis of variance was performed using SPSS 16.0 statistical software, and multiple comparisons were carried out using Duncan's method. The results were expressed as "mean ± standard error", and P < 0.05 was used as the criterion for judging significant differences.
