Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of rare earth material synthesis and feed additive development, and specifically relates to a preparation method and application of rare earth tannate chelate. Background Art

[0002] Currently, due to their unique physical and chemical properties, rare earth elements are gradually showing their roles in promoting growth and improving feed conversion rate in the livestock industry. There are abundant types of rare earth elements, and their unique physical and chemical properties, such as excellent optical, electrical, magnetic, and catalytic properties, endow them with broad application potential in multiple fields. In the livestock industry, rare earth elements play roles in promoting growth and improving feed conversion rate by participating in various physiological processes in animals, such as promoting bone development, enhancing immunity, and improving digestion and absorption functions. This not only helps improve the production performance of animals, but also reduces feed costs and improves breeding efficiency, providing a new way for the sustainable development of the livestock industry.

[0003] In the livestock industry, a lot of research results have also been achieved in the application of rare earths, providing strong support for promoting the development of the livestock industry. However, despite certain progress, there are still significant bottlenecks in the existing technologies.

[0004] In terms of inorganic rare earth additives, although lanthanum nitrate, cerium chloride, etc. have low costs, their high adsorption properties lead to poor uniformity when mixed with feed (solubility <5 g / L), and excessive intake is likely to cause metabolic burdens on the kidneys and livers of animals. Although organic rare earths (such as rare earth amino acids and rare earth vitamin C) improve bioavailability through coordination structures, their synthesis processes are complex (requiring multiple-step purification), and the rare earth amino acids disclosed in CN1105819A are easily decomposed by microorganisms in the intestine (ineffectiveness rate >80%), and long-acting release cannot be achieved. Although carrier-type rare earth additives (such as the cation exchange resin-supported type in CN1911071A) improve stability, limited by the biocompatibility of the carrier material, their actual absorption efficiency is still less than 40%, and poor palatability may lead to a decrease in feed intake.

[0005] As a natural polyphenol compound, the antioxidant property (ORAC value ≥30,000 μmol TE / g) and antibacterial activity (MIC against Escherichia coli as low as 0.1 mg / mL) of tannic acid have been confirmed in the feed field, but existing patents such as CN114468138A and CN1823613A have not effectively integrated the synergistic effect of tannic acid and rare earths. For example, although CN109258962A introduces organic rare earth to improve eggshell strength, due to the problem of the structural stability of the complex not being solved (dissociation rate >60% at pH >7), its practical application is limited.

[0006] In addition, the prior art has the problem of poor dose adaptability. CN110169497A regulates the intestinal function of livestock and poultry by gadolinium chloride, but the recommended addition amount range fluctuates by up to 25%-300% (depending on the differences in animal breeds), and it is easy to cause toxicity risks due to operation errors. At the same time, although the rare earth-hypercithiol composite process proposed by CN109221681A simplifies the production process, the mechanical mixing of rare earth and carrier is difficult to achieve molecular-level binding, and the release is uncontrollable during actual feeding (the in vitro dissolution deviation is ±30%). Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a preparation method and application of tannic acid rare earth chelate.
