Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of feed, and more particularly relates to a composite additive for improving conception of female deer during the weaning and breeding period, feed and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the deer farming industry, reproductive efficiency of female deer is a key factor influencing overall economic profitability. During the critical transition period from weaning to successful breeding, the speed of a doe's recovery and precise regulation of ovulation directly determine subsequent estrus expression and ultimate conception rates, making them crucial for improving reproductive efficiency. However, a common challenge currently faced is that post-weaning does often experience significant delays in their recovery of body condition (e.g., weight and body condition) due to imbalances between nutrient intake and demand (e.g., insufficient or unbalanced energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins), as well as drastic fluctuations and slow recovery of reproductive hormone levels. This slow recovery not only prolongs the null period but also directly inhibits normal ovarian activation and follicular development, ultimately resulting in delayed estrus, indistinct estrus, or ovulation disorders, severely limiting conception rates. Although some single-function feed additives (such as nutritional supplements, specific hormone preparations or antioxidants) have been tried in existing technologies to improve animal reproductive performance, there is still a lack of comprehensive solutions specifically for the special physiological stage of doe from weaning to breeding.

[0003] Therefore, inventing a compound feed additive that can improve the conception of doe deer during the weaning and breeding period, thereby increasing the breeding rate and birth rate of doe deer, is a key issue that needs to be urgently addressed in the future red deer breeding and feed industry. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The invention aims to provide a composite additive, feed and application thereof for improving conception of female deer during weaning and breeding period.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: The present invention provides a compound feed additive for improving the conception of female deer during the weaning and breeding period. The compound feed additive comprises the following components, calculated by weight: 20-25 parts of CaCO3, 25-30 parts of CaHPO4·2H2O, 19-20 parts of MgCl2·6H2O, 10-12 parts of NaCl, 0.5-1 part of FeSO4·7H2O, 0.9-1.1 parts of ZnSO4·7H2O, 0.1-0.15 parts of CuSO4·5H2O, 0.4- 0.5 parts of MnSO4·H2O, 0.001~0.002 parts of Na2SeO3·5H2O, 0.005~0.01 parts of KI, 0.001~0.002 parts of CoCl2·6H2O, 5~6 parts of vitamin A acetate, 0.001~0.002 parts of cholecalciferol, 0.00004~0.00006 parts of DL-α-tocopherol acetate, 5~7 parts of NaHCO3, 1~2 parts of astragalus powder, and 0.5~1 part of Chuanxiong powder.

[0006] This invention provides a composite additive specifically for doe deer during the weaning and breeding period. Through a specific combination of vitamins, trace elements, botanical active ingredients, and reproductive regulatory substances, it synergistically promotes doe body condition recovery, follicular development, and synchronized ovulation, significantly improving conception rates. This technology fills a gap in the field of nutritional regulation for deer reproduction and provides an innovative solution for efficient breeding.

[0007] The present invention also provides application of the composite additive in preparing feed for reducing the estrus span of female deer.

[0008] The present invention also provides application of the composite additive in preparing feed for improving the breeding rate of female deer.

[0009] The present invention also provides application of the composite additive in preparing feed for improving the conception rate of female deer during the weaning and breeding period.

[0010] The present invention also provides application of the composite additive in preparing feed for improving the birth rate of doe deer.

[0011] The present invention also provides application of the composite additive in preparing feed for promoting recovery of the uterus of a doe.

[0012] The invention also provides a compound feed for improving conception of female deer during weaning and breeding period, which is prepared by mixing basic feed and compound feed additive.

[0013] Furthermore, the basic feed ingredients, calculated by mass, include: 30 to 40 parts of corn straw, 9 to 11 parts of alfalfa hay, 14 to 16 parts of cottonseed hulls, 10 to 12 parts of corn, 6 to 8 parts of bran, 4 to 6 parts of distiller's grains protein feed, 3 to 5 parts of rapeseed cake, 2 to 4 parts of cottonseed meal, and 3 to 5 parts of corn fiber protein.

[0014] Furthermore, the additive dosage is 5% to 7% of the basic feed mass.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The compound feed additive provided by the present invention, through its unique formula synergistic effect, shows significant comprehensive benefits in improving the reproductive performance of weaned does: Improve feed utilization efficiency and reproductive basis: This additive can effectively improve the nutritional value of basic feed, increase the conception rate of weaned does, and provide a solid nutritional foundation for the recovery of the body condition and reconstruction of the reproductive system function of weaned does.

[0016] Significantly Improves Conception Rate and Reproduction Speed: The core benefit is a significant increase in conception rates among weaned does. Tests have shown that the additive has achieved a 100% breeding rate, meaning all weaned does conceived, significantly accelerating their reproductive turnover (i.e., shortening the time from weaning to successful conception).

[0017] Promoting postpartum uterine involution and estrus regulation: This additive effectively promotes rapid uterine involution (returning the uterus to its normal physiological state after calving) in weaned does, creating a favorable internal environment for the next conception. Furthermore, its physiological regulatory effects lead to more concentrated estrus after weaning. Test data shows that estrus occurs within approximately 25 days, greatly facilitating production management operations such as synchronized estrus processing and centralized breeding, thereby improving management efficiency.

[0018] Breakthrough Improvement in Farrowing Efficiency: One of the most notable effects is the significant increase in farrowing rate. The experimental group using this compound additive achieved a farrowing rate of 113.3%. This figure far exceeds conventional standards and fully demonstrates the additive's powerful effectiveness in promoting ovulation quality, embryo implantation, and fetal development.

[0019] Comprehensively improve the economic benefits of breeding: Through multiple effects such as increasing conception rate, shortening breeding interval, concentrating estrus for easier management, and significantly increasing farrowing rate, this compound feed additive ultimately achieves a leap in the reproductive efficiency of weaned does, significantly improving the overall economic benefits of breeding.
