[0073] To further verify the reliability of the present invention and select the optimal solution, the inventors conducted a series of experiments, as follows:
[0074] 1. Materials and Methods
[0075] 1.1 Test Materials
[0076] The experiment used banana leaves collected from perennial banana plants. Native probiotic strains were provided by Guizhou Yuhong Biotechnology Co., Ltd., and deposited at the Guangdong Provincial Center for Microbial Culture Collection, including: Bacillus subtilis (GDMCC NO. 64097), Lactobacillus plantarum (GDMCC NO. 64465), and Enterococcus faecium (GDMCC NO. 63145). Commercially purchased strains were sourced from the China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center, including: Bacillus subtilis (CGMCC NO. 9086), Lactobacillus plantarum (CGMCC NO. 12974), and Enterococcus faecium (CGMCC NO. 15321).
[0077] 1.2 Test Methods
[0078] Fresh taro leaves were pulverized to 5-7 cm. Locally isolated Bacillus subtilis, Lactobacillus plantarum, and Enterococcus faecium, purchased from the market, were mixed in a 2:1:1 ratio to create local and market-sourced probiotic groups. 100g of each probiotic group was inoculated into 25kg of pulverized taro leaves, and the mixture was packaged into six bags. Before sealing the bags, a 1kg sample of taro leaves was collected, and the bags were compacted to remove air. The bags were placed indoors for 45 days of fermentation. After fermentation, a 1kg sample of taro leaves was collected. Moisture, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, and crude ash were measured immediately on the sample.
[0079] 1.3 Determination Method
[0080] The sample was dried, pulverized, passed through a 40-mesh sieve, and bagged for testing. Weigh 10g of fresh sample in a desiccator and dry it in an oven at 105℃ until constant weight. Calculate the moisture content of the sample according to "Determination of Moisture and Other Volatile Substances in Feed" (GB / T 6435—2006). Take 5g of dried and pulverized sample, add concentrated sulfuric acid, and determine the nitrogen content according to "Determination of Crude Protein in Feed - Kjeldahl Method" (GB / T 6432—2018). Calculate the crude protein content. Take 5g of dried and pulverized sample and determine the crude fat content according to "Determination of Crude Fat in Feed" (GB / T 6433—2006). Take 5g of dried and pulverized sample and determine the crude fiber content according to "Determination of Crude Fiber in Feed" (GB / T 6434-2022). Take 5g of dried and pulverized sample and burn it in a muffle furnace at 600℃ for 30 minutes. Calculate the crude ash content according to "Determination of Crude Ash in Feed" (GB / T6438-2007).
[0081] 1.4 Data Statistics and Analysis
[0082] One-way ANOVA was performed using SPSS 23 software, and graphs were generated using Origin 2018 software. P < 0.05 indicated a significant difference, and P < 0.01 indicated a highly significant difference.
[0083] 2. Results and Analysis
[0084] The effects of native probiotics and commercially available probiotics on the nutritional composition of fermented banana and taro leaves are as follows: Figures 1-6As shown in the results, after fermentation with Guizhou native probiotics, the crude protein content of taro leaves was 6.37%, the crude fat content was 2.81%, the crude ash content was 22.82%, and the moisture content was 89.00%, which were not significantly different from the market group (P>0.05). However, the Guizhou native probiotics significantly reduced the crude fiber content of fermented taro leaves (P<0.05), from 32.52% to 23.29%, and significantly increased the nitrogen-free extract content (P<0.05), from 32.62% to 44.83%. The results indicate that native probiotics have better fermentation performance for taro leaves than market probiotics and can improve the nutritional quality of fermented taro leaves.
[0085] 3. Discussion and Summary
[0086] Research results indicate that probiotic fermentation primarily breaks down the fiber and starchy polysaccharides in banana leaves, thereby increasing the availability of nutrients. Fermented banana leaves are low in protein and fat, making them suitable for development and utilization as an energy feed. (Gao Xin et al.) [1] A study on the nutritional quality of common green fodder in Yunnan Province revealed that taro leaves have low nutritional value. This study compared the effects of locally sourced and commercially purchased probiotics on the nutritional quality of fermented taro leaves, finding significant changes in crude fiber and nitrogen-free extract content, while other nutritional indicators remained largely unchanged. (Wang Qizhi et al.) [2] It was also found that different combinations of microbial agents had varying effects on the fermentation quality of silage. Native probiotics possess inherent tolerance to local environments, nutritional conditions, and climates, exhibiting significant fermentation advantages under local conditions. The results of this study indicate that, in the geographical environment of Guizhou, native probiotics can more efficiently decompose the crude fiber in taro leaves and increase the content of nitrogen-free extracts, thereby improving the nutritional quality of fermented taro leaves.
[0087] This study improved the nutritional quality of fermented taro leaves by utilizing native probiotics from Guizhou, providing technical support for their feed application and expanding the application of taro leaves as green fodder, thereby promoting their widespread use in animal husbandry.
[0088] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions, specific embodiments, and experiments, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of the present invention fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
