Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of feed technology, and in particular to a feed with increased egg lecithin content and its application. Background Art
[0002] Eggs are rich in nutrients, inexpensive and of high quality. They play an important role in our daily lives and are the second most nutritious all-natural food after breast milk. The lecithin in eggs, in particular, plays a very important role in the development of the brain and nervous system and is called a high-level neuronutrient by experts.
[0003] Lecithin constitutes 70-80% of the dry weight of brain cell membranes, which are responsible for inputting nutrients into brain cells, outputting waste, and protecting cells from harmful substances. Lecithin deficiency will lead to damage to brain nerve cell membranes, slowing brain nerve cell metabolism, and reducing immunity and regeneration capabilities.
[0004] The lecithin content in existing eggs is low. Generally, two eggs are consumed every day to meet the lecithin intake. However, the intake of two eggs every day may lead to excessive cholesterol intake, which may cause a series of diseases. Therefore, how to ensure high lecithin intake while avoiding excessive cholesterol intake is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention
