Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of animal feeds and relates to a compound feed for fattening sheep and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of living standards, people's demand for beef and mutton consumption continues to increase. However, in the breeding of mutton sheep, the investment in how to shorten the breeding cycle, feed diet selection, climate and other factors is usually greater than the investment in the health of mutton sheep, but the effect is very limited.
[0003] At this stage, the health and growth performance of sheep have not yet reached a relatively excellent feeding level, and the dietary raw material plan is still based on personal experience. For the situation that sheep are prone to urinary stones during fattening, there is no effective dietary structure application plan to reduce urinary stones. Typical symptoms of urinary stones in sheep include anorexia, frequent urination, dripping urine, flexion and forking of the hind legs, arched back and curled abdomen, and pathological examination shows an increase in pus cells in the urine, which seriously affects the health of sheep and increases the cost of feeding and management. Traditional diets not only fail to effectively reduce the incidence of urinary stones, but also affect the absorption of protein and energy in the diet and the stability of rumen microecology. To this end, exploring better feeding plans, especially selecting appropriate raw material ratios from the dimension of continuous use of breeding terminals, combined with rumen microecological conditioning, and developing dietary application plans to reduce the occurrence of urinary stones in sheep are urgent problems to be solved in the process of fattening sheep breeding. Summary of the invention

[0047] Example 5
[0048] This example provides the improvement effect of the compound feed for finishing fattening sheep on urinary calculi in sheep.
[0049] I. Test Design
[0050] Select 200 sheep with an average body weight of about 26 kg and randomly divide them into 2 groups: a control group and an experimental group, with 100 sheep in each group. The pre-feeding period is 7 days, and the formal experimental period is 66 days. The experimental group is fed the compound feed prepared in Example 2 (preferred example), and the control group is fed the compound feed prepared in Comparative Example 1. The feed formulations of the experimental group and the control group are shown in Table 1.
[0051] Table 1. Feed Formulations of the Experimental Group and the Control Group
[0052]
[0053]
[0054] II. Feeding Management
[0055] This experiment was conducted in a sheep farm from May 16, 2024 to July 28, 2024. All the experimental sheep were enclosed and raised in the farm pens. There were no obvious differences in the environment and feeding conditions among the pens. The sheep had free access to food and water. Deworming, disinfection and immunization were carried out according to the regular procedures of the farm.
[0056] III. Test indicators
[0057] During the experimental period, the feed intake of the sheep in each pen was accurately recorded every day. At the same time period at the beginning and end of the experiment, the weights of all the sheep were measured, and data such as the initial average weight, the ending average weight, the feed intake, and the feed-to-meat ratio were calculated. The data was sorted and analyzed using Excel, and the results were presented as averages.
[0058] IV. Experimental results
[0059] The statistical results of the indicators for the experimental group and the control group are shown in Table 2.
[0060] Table 2. Statistical results of the indicators for the experimental group and the control group
[0061]
[0062]
[0063] As can be seen from Table 2, the incidence of urinary calculi in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group, with a reduction of 8%; the feed-to-meat ratio in the experimental group was 0.52 lower than that in the control group. In addition, after 66 days of feeding experiment, the daily weight gain of the experimental group was 29 g higher than that of the control group. Calculated at the wool sheep price of 25 yuan / kg, the economic benefit generated by the daily weight gain of the experimental group was 0.725 yuan more than that of the control group (0.029 kg * 25 yuan / kg = 0.725 yuan).
[0064] Furthermore, from the perspective of input-output, although the raw material cost of the experimental group was 34 yuan / 1000 kg higher than that of the control group, due to the high health level of the sheep in the experimental group and the good absorption and utilization rate of feed, after conversion, the profit generated by the fattening sheep in the experimental group was 44.77 yuan more per sheep than that in the control group (Calculation method: profit = economic benefit - feed cost, that is: total weight gain * wool sheep price - total feed intake * feed unit price. Control group: 21.2 kg * 25 yuan / kg - 125.40 kg * 2.293 yuan / kg = 243.46 yuan; Experimental group: 23.1 kg * 25 yuan / kg - 124.74 kg * 2.327 yuan / kg = 287.23 yuan. Therefore, the profit generated by each fattening sheep was 44.77 yuan more than that in the control group).
[0065] In the fattening stage, when the same weight gain of 22 kg was achieved, the feeding time of the sheep in the experimental group could be shortened by more than 5.68 days (22 / 0.321 - 22 / 0.350 = 5.68).
[0066] In summary, starting from the health status of fattening sheep, the present invention provides a compound feed that reduces the incidence of urinary calculi in fattening sheep. Compared with the control group, the incidence of urinary calculi in the experimental group decreased by 8%. On the other hand, the compound feed provided by the present invention has a high absorption and utilization rate, and the feed-to-meat ratio is reduced by 0.52 compared with the control group. In the case of the same weight gain of 22 kg, the breeding time can be shortened by more than 5.68 days, and it has high application value.
[0067] The above embodiments can preferably illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, but only describe the preferred implementation manner of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various changes and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solution of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the present invention.
