Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of feed production, in particular to a low-protein milk piglet feed and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional milk piglet feed has a crude protein (CP) of ≥18%, after weaning, although the protease activity of piglets gradually increases, it is still at a low level until 6 weeks, and the digestion capacity of plant-derived protein (such as soybean) is insufficient. Excessive feed protein causes putrefactive fermentation in the hindgut (colon) of piglets, produces harmful products such as cadaverine and putrescine, leads to intestinal edema, reduces water absorption capacity, and causes piglets to have watery feces (diarrhea). On the other hand, the oxidation of undigested amino acids for energy causes waste of nitrogen resources. In addition, the anti-nutritional factors glycinin and beta-conglycinin contained in soybeans are the main causes of diarrhea in piglets after weaning. Although the existing low-protein formula (CP≤17%) can reduce the intake of anti-nutritional factors, it does not systematically balance the proportion of essential amino acids, resulting in a decrease in feed intake, an increase in feed conversion ratio, and a decrease in growth performance.
[0003] After the complete prohibition of the addition of antibiotics in feed, the industry is facing problems such as an increase in the diarrhea rate of weaned piglets and fluctuations in growth performance. Although acidifiers (such as formic acid and lactic acid) can regulate intestinal pH and inhibit pathogenic bacteria, the synergistic effect of acidifiers and low-protein diets in the prior art has not been fully explored, and there are problems such as improper combination of acidifiers and imbalance in the addition amount, which leads to poor palatability, ineffective reduction of gastrointestinal pH, and frequent unstable application results. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a low-protein milk piglet feed and a preparation method thereof to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0029] Here, the medical stone is used as a carrier.
[0030] The spraying process can adopt a spraying device, that is, the material to be sprayed is placed in a mixer for mixing, and then the corresponding liquid is sprayed into the mixer by using a spraying device in the mixer to complete the spraying. Preferably, in the step S5, the granulation adopts a granulator; the ring die compression ratio of the granulator is 1:(4-6), the conditioning temperature is ≤65 DEG C (preferably 55-60 DEG C), and the hardness of the cooled particles is ≤3.0kg / cm 2 , and the feed palatability is improved.
[0031] Principle of action:
[0032] The present application optimizes the intestinal health of the milk pig feed formula with precise addition of acidifiers and synergistic effect of synthetic amino acids, reduces the crude protein content (CP≤16.5%), and is suitable for 21-35 day-old weaned piglets, effectively replaces antibiotics to meet the green and environmentally-friendly breeding needs in the post-antibiotic era.
[0033] The present application designs the feed of the acidifier synergistic low-protein formula:
[0034] The acidifier optimization combination: coated sodium butyrate (0.03%-0.05%) + composite organic acid (lactic acid 0.1% + fumaric acid 0.05% + citric acid 0.02%), synergistically reduces the intestinal pH value to 4.5-5.2, inhibits the proliferation of escherichia coli and salmonella, and enhances the slow-release effect of sodium butyrate.
[0035] Low-protein formula and amino acid balance:
[0036] The crude protein content of the application is 15.5% to 16.5%, the crude protein content in the traditional milk piglet feed is 18% to 20%, the crude protein content is reduced in the application, which plays a role in reducing anti-nutritional factors and reducing fecal nitrogen emissions.
[0037] The crude protein content of the application is 15.5% to 16.5%, the crude protein content in the traditional milk piglet feed is 18% to 20%, the crude protein content is reduced in the application, which plays a role in reducing anti-nutritional factors and reducing fecal nitrogen emissions.
[0038] The lysine content of the low-protein milk piglet feed of the application is 1.3% to 1.45%, the lysine content in the traditional milk piglet feed is 1.05%, and the lysine is accurately supplemented based on the SID model in the application.
[0039] The acid binding force of the application is ≤20 mEq / kg, and the acid binding force in the traditional milk piglet feed is 30 to 35 mEq / kg, and the acid binding force is reduced in the application, and the effect of the acidifier is enhanced.
[0040] Glutamine is used in the application, which is not added in the traditional milk piglet feed, and the increase of the component improves the intestinal mucosa integrity.
[0041] Amino acid accurate balance and essential amino acid strengthening: by adding synthetic amino acids (such as lysine, methionine, threonine, tryptophan, etc.), the deficiency of essential amino acids caused by low protein is made up, and the metabolic burden caused by excessive non-essential amino acids is avoided. According to the physiological stage of milk piglet, the proportion of amino acids (such as arginine, threonine demand; the amino acids expressed here are the nutritional indicators of formula design, which are supplemented by the addition of raw materials) is adjusted to ensure the maximum utilization rate of amino acids.
[0042] Acidifier instead of antibiotic: adding sodium butyrate (0.03% coated sodium butyrate can reduce the diarrhea rate) and complex organic acid (lactic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid), adjusting the intestinal pH value and inhibiting pathogenic bacteria. Increase the protease to supplement the exogenous digestive enzymes that cannot be synthesized and secreted in the body of piglets, and improve the protein digestion rate.
[0043] In the selection of raw materials and the optimization of processing technology:
[0044] Protein source replacement: replace soybean meal with fermented soybean meal (antigen degradation rate > 65%) and dehulled soybean meal, etc., to reduce anti-nutritional factors and reduce dependence on imports.
[0045] Process synergy: using puffing (puffing degree 1.8-2.1), ultrafine grinding (particle size ≤10 μm) and low temperature granulation process, the gelatinization degree of starch and the utilization rate of protein are improved.
[0046] Intestinal health and environmental protection synergy:
[0047] Diarrhea prevention and control, reduce intestinal osmotic pressure by low protein (CP≤16.5%), combined with acid binding capacity control (≤20 mEq / kg), reduce the incidence of diarrhea. Emission reduction design: for every 1% reduction in crude protein, fecal nitrogen emission is reduced by 8%-10%.
[0048] Beneficial effects:
[0049] The present application optimizes the intestinal health of the milk piglet feed formula and preparation method by precisely adding acidifying agent and synthetic amino acid synergistically, reduces the crude protein content (CP≤16.5%), and is suitable for 21-35 day old weaned piglets, effectively replaces antibiotics to meet the green and environmentally friendly breeding needs in the post-antibiotic era.
