Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of animal feed technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing and applying fat powder that promotes absorption by young animals. Background Technology
[0002] In a broad sense, fats, also known as lipids, include true lipids (triglycerides) and phospholipids (phospholipids, sterols, waxes). These compounds are important components of livestock and poultry tissues and have multiple nutritional functions. Fat is the best form of energy storage in livestock and poultry, meeting their requirements for high energy concentrations, improving amino acid digestibility, and inhibiting the conversion of glucose and other precursors into fat. It provides essential fatty acids (linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, etc.) and acts as a solvent for fat-soluble vitamins and certain hormones, promoting their absorption and utilization. In special environments such as high temperatures, it can reduce stress responses in livestock and poultry. Vegetable oils have a laxative effect, with castor oil having the strongest laxative effect, followed by cottonseed oil and soybean oil. Soybean oil and peanut oil can also treat intestinal obstruction caused by ascariasis.
[0003] In livestock and poultry production, besides serving as an energy source to meet animal needs, oils and fats also have several important physiological functions. ① As a solvent for fat-soluble nutrients, they facilitate the digestion and absorption of these nutrients. ② An important source of metabolic water in the body; the oxidation of fat in animals provides both energy and water. Each gram of fat oxidation produces 67%–83% more water than carbohydrates and about 1.5 times more than protein. ③ Emulsifying phospholipids; because phospholipid molecules contain both hydrophilic phosphate groups and hydrophobic fatty acid chains, they possess emulsifying properties. They promote the formation of a suitable oil-water emulsion environment in the digestive tract and play an important role in the transport of lipids in the blood and the transmembrane transport of nutrients. ④ As a source of essential fatty acids in animals, linoleic acid and linolenic acid in oils and fats cannot be synthesized by the animal body and are indispensable for cell structure and metabolism, and must be obtained from feed.
[0004] Early-weaned piglets have underdeveloped digestive and immune systems, resulting in insufficient secretion of enzymes and gastric acid in the digestive tract. This often leads to what is known as "early weaning syndrome," characterized by decreased appetite, indigestion, low feed utilization, poor disease resistance, diarrhea, poor neurological function, and slow growth. Many factors contribute to post-weaning growth retardation in piglets, with decreased enzyme activity in the digestive system being a significant one. During the first four weeks of life, the activity of digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, and lipase, etc.) in the stomach, pancreas, and small intestine increases dramatically. After weaning, the activity of various pancreatic enzymes decreases to about one-third of pre-weaning levels, and the activity of enzymes in the small intestine also declines, only returning to pre-weaning levels about two weeks later. Therefore, regulating the activity of gastrointestinal digestive enzymes in weaned piglets through nutrition is crucial for promoting nutrient digestion and absorption.
[0005] Fat is a high-energy substance and an ideal energy supplement. The digestion and absorption of fat is a complex process influenced by various factors, including feed, the animal's physiological condition, and the environment. When designing diet formulations, these influencing factors should be fully considered to maximize fat utilization and improve piglet production performance. Currently, the application of fat in weaned piglet diets is generally accepted by most scholars, with piglets showing poor fat utilization in the first 1-2 weeks after weaning, followed by a significant improvement after 2 weeks. Whether the initial addition of fat at weaning induces lipase development remains controversial. How to utilize high-energy substances to improve piglet production performance and fully leverage the physiological functions of fat is key to fat utilization and warrants further in-depth research. Currently, the main approach to improving fat absorption in young animals is by adding lipase to piglet and broiler feed. However, excessive addition of exogenous lipase may inhibit the expression of endogenous lipase, leading to lipase dependence and requiring continuous long-term supplementation. Furthermore, lipase is expensive and easily destroyed by stomach acid during administration, further increasing feed costs due to the need for lipase protection. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention aims to provide a method for preparing and applying a fat powder that promotes absorption in young animals. The fat powder uses 1-oleic-2-palmitic-3-linoleic acid triglycerides, soybean oil, and egg yolk lecithin as the core fat reservoir, employs ethyl cellulose-stearic acid as the intermediate coating layer, and uses linolenic acid and sodium butyrate as the outer shell components for preferential release. By mixing the fat powder with the basic feed for young animals in a certain proportion, it can promote the expression of intestinal lipases in young animals, increasing their absorption and metabolism of fat. This allows the fat to be gradually degraded in the upper small intestine, reserving time for enzyme expression and preventing premature exposure of the fat.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing fat powder that promotes absorption in young animals, comprising the following steps:

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are reflected in:
[0021] (1) This invention achieves a breakthrough through the precise spatiotemporal regulation of a three-layer core-shell structure: the outer shell is made of gelatin-gellan gel material, which rapidly releases sodium butyrate, linolenic acid and probiotics in the stomach and upper small intestine, thus initiating the gene expression of lipase in advance and regulating the signaling pathways related to fat metabolism; the middle layer is made of ethyl cellulose-stearic acid coating layer, which gradually degrades in the upper small intestine, delaying the release of fat and reserving time for enzyme expression; the liposome membrane of the core slowly releases oil in the small intestine, matching the peak expression of lipase; thus solving the problem of fat digestion disorder caused by insufficient enzymes in the early stage of weaning in young animals from a mechanistic perspective.
[0022] (2) In this invention, 1-oleic acid-2-palmitic acid-3-linoleic acid triglyceride (OPL), soybean oil, and egg yolk lecithin are used as the main components of fat in fat powder. OPL structured lipid is a structured lipid designed by mimicking the natural distribution of triglycerides in breast milk. It can improve gastric emptying rate and intestinal absorption efficiency, significantly increase the abundance of probiotics such as Bifidobacterium, and inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli. It helps young animals absorb fat. The emulsifying effect of egg yolk lecithin reduces the dependence of fat on bile acids. Attached Figure Description

Remove the test tube, add 10mL of ethanol, and mix. After cooling, transfer the mixture to a 100mL stoppered graduated cylinder. Wash the test tube several times with 25mL of ether, and pour the washed ether mixture into the graduated cylinder. After all the ether has been poured into the graduated cylinder, stopper it and shake for 1 minute. Carefully open the stopper to release the gas, then stopper it again and let it stand for 12 minutes. Carefully open the stopper again and rinse the stopper and the mouth of the cylinder with an equal volume mixture of petroleum ether and diethyl ether to remove any adhering fat. Let it stand for 10–20 minutes until the upper liquid is clear. Draw the supernatant into a pre-balanced conical flask, add 5 mL of diethyl ether to the stoppered graduated cylinder, shake, and let it stand. Draw the upper layer of ether back into the original conical flask. Evaporate the conical flask to dryness in a water bath, then dry it in an oven at 95–105°C for 2 hours. After cooling in a desiccator for 0.5 hours, weigh the flask and calculate the weight of the fat. The results are shown in Table 1 below.
[0090] Table 1: Release rate of fat from fat powder in simulated gastrointestinal tract
[0091]
[0092]
[0093] As shown in Table 1, the fat powder prepared by the methods in Examples 1-3 had a release rate of about 25% in the simulated gastrointestinal tract, while the fat powder prepared by the methods in Comparative Examples 1-3 had a release rate of more than 40% in the simulated gastrointestinal tract. In Comparative Examples 2 and 3, the release rate of the unencapsulated liposome fat powder exceeded 85%, indicating that the shell structure encapsulating the liposome fat powder has the effect of reducing the fat release rate and achieving the purpose of sustained fat release.
[0094] Experimental Example 2
[0095] Experiment on fat absorption in young piglets:
[0096] Twenty-one male piglets aged 21 days were divided into seven groups of three each. The seven groups were labeled as: Example 4, Example 5, Example 6, Comparative Example 4, Comparative Example 5, Comparative Example 6, and Comparative Example 7. Each piglet was fed 200g of the corresponding feed five times a day for seven days. Body weight was recorded before and after the experiment. Blood samples were collected intravenously before and after the experiment to measure serum triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels, as shown in Table 2. After seven days of feeding, feces were collected, dried at 65℃, and the crude fat content was measured. 10.0g of dried feces was weighed and placed in a 50mL test tube, with 10mL of hydrochloric acid added. The test tube was placed in a 70-80℃ water bath, and stirred with a glass rod every 5-10 minutes until the sample was completely digested, approximately 40-50 minutes. The test tube was then removed, and 10mL of ethanol was added and mixed. After cooling, transfer the mixture to a 100mL stoppered graduated cylinder. Wash the test tubes with 25mL of diethyl ether in portions, pouring the washes into the graduated cylinder. After all the diethyl ether has been poured into the graduated cylinder, stopper the cylinder and shake for 1 minute. Carefully open the stopper to release the gas, then stopper the cylinder again and let it stand for 12 minutes. Carefully open the stopper again and rinse the stopper and the mouth of the cylinder with an equal volume mixture of petroleum ether and diethyl ether to remove any adhering fat. Let it stand for 10–20 minutes until the upper liquid is clear. Pour the supernatant into a pre-balanced Erlenmeyer flask, add 5mL of diethyl ether to the stoppered graduated cylinder, shake, and let it stand. Pour the upper layer of diethyl ether back into the original Erlenmeyer flask. Evaporate the Erlenmeyer flask to dryness in a water bath, then dry it in an oven at 95–105℃ for 2 hours. After cooling in a desiccator for 0.5 hours, weigh the flask and calculate the weight of the fat, as shown in Table 3.
[0097] Table 2: Serum biochemical indicators of fat absorption in young piglets
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] As shown in Table 2, the serum triglyceride, total cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein concentrations of piglets fed with the feeds of Examples 4-6 were all higher than those of Comparative Examples 4-7, indicating that the feeds of Examples 4-6 can effectively promote the absorption of fat by piglets.
[0101] Table 3: Fat content in feces of young piglets
[0102]
[0103] As shown in Table 3, the fat content in the feces of young piglets fed the feeds of Examples 4-6 was lower than that in the feces of young piglets fed the feeds of Comparative Examples 4-6. This indicates that the feeds prepared in Examples 4-6 promote fat absorption in young animals and reduce the excretion of undigested fat in feces. The low fat content in the feces of young piglets fed the feed of Comparative Example 7 is because Comparative Example 7 only contained a basic feed without the addition of fat powder, resulting in a lower fat content in the basic feed.
[0104] Experimental Example 3
[0105] Intestinal lipase expression and activity verification experiment:
[0106] After slaughter, tissue was taken from the mid-section of the jejunum (1 m from the pylorus), and the inner wall mucosa was scraped off and divided into two parts. One part was placed in RNA preservation solution (-80℃) for gene expression detection; RT-PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of AMPK and PPARα in the jejunal tissue (β-actin was the internal reference gene). -ΔΔCt Using β-actin as an internal reference, and with the expression level of Example 7 as 1, the relative expression levels of the other groups relative to Example 7 were calculated, and the results are as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown; another portion was added to PBS buffer, homogenized, and stirred evenly for 1 hour; centrifuged at 10000 r / min for 20 min at 4℃, and the supernatant was filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane to obtain crude porcine pancreatic lipase (PL) solution. The activity of porcine pancreatic lipase (PL) in the intestinal contents (unit: U / g protein) was detected by ELISA (kit), and the results are shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown.
[0107] like Figure 3 and Figure 4The data show that after feeding weaned piglets with the feeds prepared according to the methods in Examples 4-6, the expression level of AMPK in the piglets' intestines decreased, significantly lower than that in Comparative Examples 4-7; while after feeding weaned piglets with the feeds prepared according to the methods in Examples 4-6, the expression level of PPARα in the piglets' intestines significantly increased, significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 4-7. This indicates that the feeds prepared according to the methods in Examples 4-6 can effectively promote lipid metabolism-related signaling pathways. Figure 5 As shown, after feeding weaned piglets with the feed prepared by the methods in Examples 4-6, the activity of pancreatic lipase in the piglets' intestines was significantly higher than that in Comparative Examples 4-7, indicating that the feed prepared by the methods in Examples 4-6 can increase the expression of lipase in the intestines and promote the absorption of fat in the intestines.
