Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of feed processing, and in particular to a method for preparing beef cattle straw feed based on composite bacterial strain synergistic fermentation. Background Art

[0002] In the field of beef cattle breeding, straw is an important source of roughage. Its stubborn lignocellulose structure leads to low digestibility and insufficient nutritional value. Traditional single-strain fermentation also has problems such as low efficiency, high risk of bacterial contamination, and poor raw material adaptability. In existing technologies, conventional microbial fermentation has difficulty breaking through the limitations of straw structure and lacks dynamic adaptation solutions for different raw material characteristics, resulting in unstable feed quality. In addition, traditional processes rely on manual control of fermentation parameters, which can easily affect the fermentation effect due to environmental fluctuations. There is an urgent need to develop efficient and precise straw feed preparation technology.

[0003] In view of this, this application is hereby filed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing beef cattle straw feed based on the synergistic fermentation of composite strains, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing beef cattle straw feed based on composite bacterial strain synergistic fermentation, comprising the following steps: S1 strain screening and evolution: Bacillus, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and Aspergillus strains with lignocellulose degradation potential are screened from natural environments or bacterial strain libraries to construct an initial composite strain system. Using a directed evolution system that simulates natural evolution, the initial composite strains are cultured for multiple generations in a pressure environment with high lignocellulose concentrations, specific temperature, and pH values ​​to induce genetic mutations. Combined with high-throughput screening technology, composite strain combinations with significantly improved lignocellulose degradation capabilities are obtained. Through directed evolution and screening, the composite strain combination is optimized to significantly enhance its ability to degrade straw lignocellulose, laying the foundation for improving the nutritional value of feed. S2 Straw Pretreatment: Microwave-assisted technology is used to pretreat the straw, using microwave high-frequency vibration to destroy the straw lignocellulose structure and increase porosity. Microwave pretreatment effectively destroys the straw structure, increases the area of ​​action of subsequent strains, and improves fermentation efficiency and effect. S3 dual-stage fermentation: The pretreated straw is fed into a dual-stage fermentation system. In the first stage, a fast-growing and highly adaptable bacterial strain is introduced to rapidly consume the easily available sugars in the straw and lower the pH value. In the second stage, a strain with strong lignocellulose degradation ability after directed evolution is introduced to efficiently degrade stubborn components under the environment created in the early stage. The dual-stage fermentation fully utilizes the advantages of different bacterial strains, optimizes the fermentation environment in stages, and achieves efficient degradation of straw and nutrient conversion. S4 Fermentation Control: High-precision temperature, humidity, pH, and dissolved oxygen sensors are deployed in the fermentation equipment, and the data is fed back to the central control system in real time via wireless transmission. The system has a built-in intelligent control model based on fuzzy control theory and neural network algorithm. According to the preset optimal fermentation parameter range, it automatically adjusts the operating parameters of ventilation, heating, humidification, and stirring equipment; accurately monitors and intelligently controls fermentation conditions to ensure a stable and efficient fermentation process and improve the uniformity of feed quality.

[0006] Furthermore, in the S1, the mass ratio of Bacillus, lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and Aspergillus strains in the composite strain combination is (2-5):(3-6):(1-3):(1-4); the reasonable strain mass ratio enables the composite strains to better synergize during the fermentation process, give full play to their respective functions, and improve the overall fermentation effect.

[0007] Furthermore, in S1, the temperature range of the pressure environment in the directed evolution system is 30-45°C, the pH range is 4.0-7.0, and the cellulose concentration is 5-15 g / L; the clear pressure environment parameter setting provides suitable conditions for the directed evolution of the strain, ensuring that the screened strain has stronger cellulose degradation ability.

[0008] Furthermore, in S2, the processing conditions of the microwave-assisted technology are: microwave power 200-800W, processing time 1-5min; the specific microwave processing parameters can effectively destroy the straw structure while avoiding nutritional loss due to excessive processing, thereby ensuring the pretreatment effect and feed quality.

[0009] Furthermore, in S3, the fermentation temperature of the first stage is controlled at 30-35°C, and the fermentation time is 12-24 hours; the fermentation temperature of the second stage is controlled at 35-40°C, and the fermentation time is 36-60 hours; the precise dual-stage fermentation temperature and time settings meet the growth and metabolic requirements of strains at different stages, promote the smooth progress of the fermentation process, and improve the quality of feed fermentation.

[0010] Furthermore, in S3, during the two-stage fermentation process, the microbial community of the fermentation system is monitored in real time. When the number of foreign bacteria exceeds a set threshold, a targeted antibacterial agent is added to the fermentation system; real-time monitoring and antibacterial measures effectively prevent foreign bacteria contamination, ensure the normal progress of the fermentation process, and improve the safety and quality stability of the feed.

[0011] Furthermore, the antibacterial agent is one of a specific plant extract and a bacteriophage; the specific antibacterial agent can accurately inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria while avoiding adverse effects on the composite strain, ensuring that the fermentation process proceeds smoothly without introducing harmful substances.

[0012] Furthermore, in S4, the temperature error range detected by the high-precision sensor is ±0.5°C, the humidity error range is ±3%, the pH value error range is ±0.2, and the dissolved oxygen error range is ±0.5 mg / L; the high-precision sensor detection error range ensures that the obtained fermentation parameters are accurate and reliable, provides precise data support for intelligent regulation, and ensures stable fermentation conditions.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Directed evolution of composite strains: By simulating natural stress environments to screen highly active strain combinations, the limitations of the degradation capacity of traditional single strains were broken through. The cellulose degradation rate was increased by more than 60% compared with the initial strain, significantly releasing the nutrients encapsulated in the straw.

[0014] 2. Microwave-assisted pretreatment: Using microwave high-frequency vibration to destroy the dense structure of straw, the specific surface area is increased by nearly 100%, providing more action sites for the strain, and increasing the subsequent fermentation efficiency by more than 30%.

[0015] 3. Two-stage precision fermentation: The temperature and strain composition are regulated in stages. The first stage quickly lowers the pH to inhibit bacteria, and the second stage degrades lignocellulose in a targeted manner. Combined with an intelligent control system (parameter fluctuation ≤±0.5℃), fermentation uniformity is ensured, and the crude protein content of the feed is increased by 80% compared with traditional processes.

[0016] 4. Dynamic control of foreign bacteria: Real-time monitoring of microbial communities and precise addition of plant extracts / bacteriophage antibacterial agents to control the foreign bacteria contamination rate below 5%, ensuring feed safety and storage stability.
