Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal feed technology, and in particular to a premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As livestock and poultry farming develops towards large-scale and intensive operations, premixed feed, as a core component of livestock and poultry nutrition, has upgraded its function from "basic nutritional supplementation" to "health regulation." Premixed feed is a homogeneous mixture made by combining various trace components (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, drug additives, etc.) required by livestock and poultry with a carrier in a specific ratio. Traditional premixed feed mainly relies on chemically synthesized additives, and long-term use can easily lead to problems such as drug residues and bacterial resistance in livestock and poultry products, threatening food safety and the ecological environment. It is under these circumstances that premixed feeds for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts have emerged, attracting widespread attention within the industry.

[0003] Traditional premixed feeds for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts often use single plant extracts. The active ingredients in single plant extracts have limited targets and their effect on regulating the gut microbiota of livestock and poultry is limited, failing to meet the comprehensive health requirements of large-scale farming. Furthermore, commercially available premixed feeds containing plant extracts often suffer from compatibility issues with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients; poor synergy between nutritional and functional components; low automation and uniformity in the preparation process; a conflict between feed utilization and environmental friendliness; and insufficient targeted delivery and bioavailability of active ingredients.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, patent application CN104115999A discloses a traditional Chinese medicine feed additive and a feed containing the additive. The additive is a mixture of 19 traditional Chinese medicines: Forsythia suspensa, Lonicera japonica, Dryopteris crassirhizoma, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Bupleurum chinense, Astragalus membranaceus, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos, Citrus reticulata peel, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, Plantago asiatica, Cassia tora, Rheum palmatum, Ephedra sinica, Magnolia officinalis, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The additive is pulverized and added to the feed, mixed thoroughly to obtain the feed containing the additive. The amount of the additive added is 0.5-2.0% of the total feed weight. This invention is green, safe, and leaves no drug residues. It has multiple functions for animals, including strengthening the body's constitution, regulating physiological functions, improving immunity, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral effects. It has significant preventive and therapeutic effects on common animal diseases such as stress, colds, and scours, greatly improving breeding efficiency. However, it still has technical shortcomings, such as a lack of synergistic effects among its components, susceptibility to antagonism, poor bioavailability of active ingredients, and inability to adapt to stress-sensitive livestock and poultry.

[0019] Preferably, the mixing temperature is 20-25℃, the relative humidity is ≤60%, and the mixer speed is 25-35rpm.

[0020] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The method for preparing the premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts disclosed in this invention is simple, easy to control, has low equipment requirements, low investment, is conducive to industrial production, and has high promotion and application value.

[0021] (2) The premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts disclosed in this invention comprises the following components by weight percentage: 0.8-2.5% compound vitamins, 0.6-1.5% taurine, 2-10% plant extract nanocrystals, 1-3% mineral premix, 0.5-1% tea polyphenols / chitosan nanoparticles, and the remainder being a carrier; the raw materials of the plant extracts are a mixture of dried plum, ginger, areca peel, rosemary, perilla, honeysuckle, astragalus, eucommia leaves, and tangerine peel in a mass ratio of (3-5):(4-6):(3-5):(0.8-1.2):0.5:0.5:1:(1-2):0.8; through the mutual cooperation and synergistic effect between the components, the premixed feed can significantly improve the immunity of livestock and poultry, improve growth performance and intestinal health; the active ingredients have good stability, high utilization rate, excellent environmental protection, targeted delivery and sufficient bioavailability, which can effectively improve the quality of livestock and poultry products and achieve the dual effects of nutrition and health care.

[0022] (3) The premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts disclosed in this invention uses plant extract nanocrystals instead of traditional plant extract compositions, achieving a dual breakthrough in activity retention and bioavailability. This effectively solves the core contradiction of "high addition but low bioavailability" of fat-soluble plant components in the prior art, providing key support for the functional enhancement of antibiotic-free feeds. Plant extract nanocrystals, through the physical encapsulation effect of nano-sized particles, combined with the synergistic effect of tea polyphenol / chitosan nanoparticles (tea polyphenol antioxidant + chitosan physical barrier), significantly improve the stability of active ingredients, ensuring the dual effectiveness of feed nutrition and function; with the advantage of particle size and negative surface potential, they can specifically adhere to the intestinal mucosa surface of livestock and poultry, achieving targeted release of active ingredients.

[0023] (4) The premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts disclosed in this invention is a mixture of dried plum, ginger, areca peel, rosemary, perilla, honeysuckle, astragalus, eucommia leaves, and tangerine peel in a mass ratio of (3-5):(4-6):(3-5):(0.8-1.2):0.5:0.5:1:(1-2):0.8. It relies on astragalus polysaccharide and honeysuckle chlorogenic acid to activate immune cells and inhibit pathogenic bacteria, and combines rosmarinic acid and perilla flavonoids to repair the intestinal mucosa, thus doubly enhancing the immunity of livestock and poultry to reduce mortality and diarrhea rates. It also uses gingerol from ginger to promote the secretion of digestive enzymes. The combination of dried tangerine peel and areca peel accelerates digestion and, combined with Eucommia ulmoides leaf components, regulates intestinal flora and improves feed conversion efficiency. At the same time, rosmarinic acid and perilla flavonoids construct an antioxidant network, extending the shelf life of feed. The extracts of Astragalus membranaceus and Eucommia ulmoides leaves reduce oxidative damage to the body. Perilla α-linolenic acid optimizes the fat composition of meat, Eucommia ulmoides leaf components improve the tenderness of meat, and ginger and dried tangerine peel enhance the flavor. All raw materials are of medicinal and edible origin, achieving antibiotic-free and residue-free results. Furthermore, through precise optimization of the proportions of each component, it is adapted to the physiological needs of different poultry and livestock such as chickens, pigs, and cattle, achieving the comprehensive value of "immune enhancement, digestive optimization, antioxidant, meat quality improvement, and green antibiotic-free".

[0024] (5) The premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts disclosed in this invention breaks through the industry perception that "efficient extraction is inevitably accompanied by loss of active ingredients" by "scientific grouping and mixing extraction of fat-soluble and water-soluble ingredients", and achieves dual optimization of "efficiency-effect". Thanks to the nanocrystal preparation process of "high pressure homogenization + intermittent ultrasound" and the avoidance of component antagonism by grouping extraction, the retention rate of active ingredients and bioavailability of plant extract nanocrystals are synergistically improved.

[0061] Comparative Example 3 This example provides a premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts and its preparation method, which is basically the same as in Example 1, except that it does not contain Areca peel and rosemary.

[0062] To further illustrate the beneficial technical effects of the premixed feed for livestock and poultry containing plant extracts involved in the various embodiments of the present invention, relevant performance tests were conducted on the products of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3. The test results are shown in Table 1, and the test methods are as follows: I. Experimental Materials and Equipment 1. Laboratory animals Three hundred Duroc × Landrace × Large White crossbred weaned piglets aged 28 days with consistent health status and similar weight (7.2±0.5kg) were selected. All piglets came from the same large-scale pig farm and received basic immunization (swine fever and foot-and-mouth disease vaccines) before weaning. Before the experiment, veterinarians examined the piglets and found that they had no digestive tract diseases and were in good spirits. 2. Experimental diets and premixes The basal diet was formulated according to the nutritional requirements of weaned piglets according to NRC (2012). The main ingredients and nutritional levels were as follows: corn 58%, soybean meal 22%, whey powder 8%, fish meal 4%, wheat bran 3%, vegetable oil 2%, dicalcium phosphate 1.2%, limestone powder 0.8%, salt 0.3%, lysine 0.3%, and methionine 0.2%. The nutritional levels were: digestible energy 3.4 MJ / kg, crude protein 21%, lysine 1.3%, calcium 0.85%, and total phosphorus 0.65%. The basal diets were completely consistent among the groups to eliminate the interference of differences in basal nutrition on the experimental results. Control group premix: Commercially available conventional antibiotic-free premix, whose main components include compound vitamins (VA, VD3, VE, etc.), inorganic trace elements (ferrous sulfate, zinc sulfate, etc.), and enzyme preparations (phytase), with the addition amount set at 4% of the basal diet according to the product instructions. Example 1 Premix: The premix of Example 1 of this invention was added at the same amount as the control group, which was 4% of the basal diet. Comparative Example 1 Premix: The premix of Comparative Example 1 of this invention was added at the same amount as the control group, which was 4% of the basal diet.

[0063] Comparative Example 2 Premix: The premix of Comparative Example 2 of this invention was added at the same amount as the control group, which was 4% of the basal diet.

[0064] Comparative Example 3 Premix: The premix of Comparative Example 3 of this invention was added at the same amount as the control group, which was 4% of the basal diet.

[0065] 3. Test equipment Breeding facilities: Enclosed nursery pens (2.0m×1.5m / pen, each pen is equipped with an independent feed trough, automatic waterer, temperature control system, ventilation fan, and lighting timer); Testing equipment: electronic platform scale (accuracy 0.01kg), fully automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader (Thermo Multiskan FC, for serum IgG detection), high-speed centrifuge (for serum separation), feed moisture analyzer (for monitoring diet moisture). II. Experimental Design 1. Grouping method A completely randomized design was used to randomly divide 300 weaned piglets into 5 groups (Example 1 group, Comparative 1 group, Comparative 2 group, Comparative 3 group, and Control group), with 3 replicates per group and 20 piglets per replicate (half male and half female to avoid the influence of sex differences). All piglets were weighed on an empty stomach before grouping. The initial weights were as follows: Example 1 group 7.23 kg, Comparative 1 group 7.20 kg, Comparative 2 group 7.25 kg, Comparative 3 group 7.20 kg, and Control group 7.18 kg, ensuring randomness and balance in grouping. 2. Division of the trial period The trial period lasted 49 days and was divided into two phases: Pre-trial period (7 days): All piglets were fed a basal diet without any premixed feed. During this period, they were acclimatized to the environment (familiarizing themselves with the nursery pen and feed trough locations), trained to eat (guided feeding at regular times and in fixed quantities), and their health status was observed. Piglets with diarrhea or lethargy were removed (no piglets were removed in this experiment). At the end of the pre-trial period, they were weighed again to confirm that there was still no significant difference in weight between the two groups. Formal trial period (42 days): The control group was fed "basal diet + 4% commercial premix". Example 1, Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 3 were fed "basal diet + 4% of the corresponding premix". The five groups were fed the same except for the premix. After the formal trial period, the indicators were measured and the data were statistically analyzed. III. Feeding and Management 1. Environmental Control Temperature: During the first 14 days of the trial period, the temperature was controlled at 28±1℃, from the 15th to the 28th day at 26±1℃, and from the 29th to the 42nd day at 24±1℃, simulating the temperature gradient of the natural growth of weaned piglets. The temperature was regulated by the combined use of underfloor heating and temperature-controlled fans to avoid stress caused by sudden temperature changes. Humidity: Maintain at 60-65% throughout the process. Turn on the dehumidifier when the humidity is above 65% and supplement the humidity by spraying distilled water on the ground when it is below 60% to prevent respiratory diseases caused by dryness or intestinal problems caused by dampness. Illumination: A 16-hour light cycle (6:00-22:00, light intensity 200 lux) and an 8-hour dark cycle are adopted to conform to the physiological rhythm of piglets; Ventilation: Ventilate once at 9:00 and 15:00 every day for 30 minutes each time to ensure that the ammonia concentration in the pen is ≤15ppm (detected with a portable ammonia detector) to reduce the irritation of harmful gases to the piglets' intestines and respiratory tract. 2. Feeding and Water Management Feeding method: Use a combination of "free access to feed + timed supplementation". Add feed once a day at 6:30, 12:30 and 18:30. The amount added should be such that there is a little left in the feed trough (about 5%) to avoid feed shortage or feed accumulation and spoilage. Clean the feed trough of any remaining feed and debris before each feeding. Thoroughly clean the feed trough once a week (disinfect with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution and let it dry before use).

[0066] Water management: Provide clean tap water (disinfected with ultraviolet light) and ensure a 24-hour uninterrupted water supply through automatic waterers. Clean the waterers once a week and check for blockages in the water pipes to ensure that every piglet can drink water normally. 3. Routine management and health monitoring Daily observation: Observe the piglets' mental state, feed intake, and fecal form twice a day, morning and evening. Record the number of the piglets with diarrhea, the time of onset of diarrhea, and the characteristics of their feces. Strengthen observation for mild diarrhea and isolate the piglets for severe diarrhea. Administer saline solution as directed by the veterinarian (do not use antibiotics to avoid affecting the test results). Return the piglets to the group after recovery and record the recovery time. Environmental cleaning: Clean the manure in the pen daily (using a manure scraper to avoid residue), and disinfect the pen floor and walls once a week with a 0.3% peracetic acid solution. After disinfection, ventilate for 30 minutes before putting the piglets in. Data recording: Record the amount of feed added and the amount remaining for each replicate daily (accurate to 0.1kg). Weigh each replicate of piglets weekly on an empty stomach (weigh at the same time before morning feeding to reduce error) and record the weight data. IV. Indicator Measurement Methods 1. Growth performance indicators (daily weight gain, feed conversion ratio) Average daily weight gain (ADG): On day 1 of the formal testing period (end of the pre-testing period) and day 42 of the formal testing period (end of the formal testing period), each of the 20 piglets in each replicate was weighed on an empty stomach (electronic platform scale, fasted for 12 hours and deprived of water for 2 hours before weighing). The weight of each piglet was recorded, and the total weight gain for each replicate was calculated (total weight at the end of the formal testing period - total weight at the beginning of the formal testing period). Then, the average daily weight gain was calculated according to "average daily weight gain = total weight gain / (number of replicates × number of days in the formal testing period)". Finally, the average value was calculated for each group. Feed conversion ratio (FCR): Record the daily feed addition and surplus for each replicate, calculate the total feed intake for each replicate (total feed addition - total surplus), and combine it with the total weight gain of the replicate. Calculate the FCR according to "FCR = total feed intake / total weight gain". Take the average of the three replicates in the group as the group FCR. 2. Diarrhea rate Observe and record the first occurrence of diarrhea in each replicate every morning and evening (one piglet with diarrhea on one day is counted as one occurrence of diarrhea; if diarrhea occurs continuously, record it separately each day). After the trial period ends, calculate the diarrhea rate for each replicate according to "diarrhea rate = (total number of diarrhea occurrences / (number of replicates × number of days in the trial period)) × 100%". Take the average of the three replicates in the group as the group diarrhea rate.

[0067] 3. Serum IgG content Sample collection: On day 42 of the trial period, 5 piglets (half male and half female, 15 piglets / group) were randomly selected from each replicate. 5 mL of blood was collected from the anterior vena cava in the morning on an empty stomach and placed in a centrifuge tube without anticoagulant. Serum separation: After blood collection, let it stand at room temperature for 30 min, then put it into a high-speed centrifuge and centrifuge at 3000 r / min for 15 min. Aspirate the supernatant serum (avoid aspirating red blood cells), aliquot it into 1.5 mL centrifuge tubes, and freeze at -20℃ for later testing. Detection method: The porcine immunoglobulin G (IgG) ELISA kit was used, and the operation was strictly followed according to the kit instructions: the standard and serum sample were added to the wells of the ELISA plate, incubated at 37°C for 30 min, washed 3 times, then the enzyme-labeled antibody was added, incubated at 37°C for 30 min, washed again, then the substrate solution was added, and incubated at 37°C in the dark for 15 min. Finally, the stop solution was added, and the absorbance (OD value) was measured at 450 nm using an automated ELISA reader. The serum IgG content (unit: mg / mL) was calculated according to the standard curve. Each sample was processed in 3 parallel wells, and the average value was taken as the final result.
