Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of feed preparation technology, and in particular to an artemisia annua chicken feed and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Chicken feed is the foundation of poultry farming, and its scientific nutritional formulation directly affects the growth performance, health, and economic benefits of chickens. Chicken feed provides the essential nutrients needed for chicken growth, such as carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals. With the development of the poultry industry and the upgrading of consumer demands, developing functional feeds that not only meet basic nutritional needs but also enhance chicken immunity and improve meat flavor has become an important direction for the industry.

[0003] However, existing chicken feed formulations are often relatively simple and have a narrow functional focus, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive benefits such as growth, enhanced immunity, and improved gut health. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an artemisia annua chicken feed and its preparation method, which solves the technical problem that existing chicken feed formulations are often relatively simple, have a narrow functional focus, and are difficult to achieve comprehensive benefits in terms of growth, enhanced immunity, and improved gut health.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an Artemisia annua chicken feed, wherein each ton of Artemisia annua chicken feed comprises 608-609 kg of corn, 255 kg of soybean meal, 10 kg of soybean oil, 30 kg of premix, 90 kg of limestone powder and 5 kg of Artemisia annua; The premix contains amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium, and enzymes.

[0006] The Artemisia annua is a dried and pulverized form of Artemisia annua with a particle size that passes through an 80-100 mesh sieve, and the content of artemisinin in Artemisia annua is not less than 0.5%.

[0007] The premix contains trace elements including iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and iodine, with a weight ratio of iron:zinc:copper:manganese:selenium:iodine = 10-15:8-12:1-2:2-4:0.1-0.3:0.05-0.1.

[0008] The enzymes include phytase, cellulase and xylanase, with activities of phytase ≥5000 U / g, cellulase ≥4000 U / g and xylanase ≥6000 U / g, respectively.

[0009] The Artemisia annua chicken feed also contains 1-2 kg of Astragalus membranaceus powder, the particle size of which passes through an 80-100 mesh sieve, and the content of astragaloside A is not less than 0.8%.

[0010] This invention also provides a method for preparing Artemisia annua chicken feed, used to prepare the Artemisia annua chicken feed as described above. Including the following: Artemisia annua is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Artemisia annua powder; similarly, Astragalus membranaceus is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Astragalus membranaceus powder; corn and soybean meal are pulverized to 40-60 mesh respectively. Amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium and enzymes are mixed in proportion to form a premix; The crushed corn, soybean meal, artemisia annua powder, soybean oil, premix, astragalus powder, and stone powder are put into a mixer. During the mixing process, the humidity and temperature of the mixture are monitored in real time, and the speed and mixing time of the mixer are dynamically adjusted based on a PID algorithm to maintain the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity ≤5%. The mixed materials are granulated at 75-85℃ using a granulator to produce particles with a diameter of 2-4mm, and then cooled to room temperature. Package the cooled pelleted feed and store it in a cool, dry place.

[0011] The control parameters of the PID algorithm are optimized through a machine learning model, which is trained based on historical mixing data. The inputs include ambient temperature, initial humidity of raw materials, and mixer load, and the output is the PID parameters.

[0012] The pelleting process employs a dynamic formula adjustment algorithm based on the chicken's growth stage. This algorithm calculates the amount of Artemisia annua and premix to be added based on the chicken's age, weight, and health indicators using a linear programming model, and adjusts the pelleting parameters in real time.

[0013] Before packaging, an online near-infrared spectroscopy analyzer was used to quickly detect the artemisinin content and moisture content of the cooled pelleted feed.

[0014] After mixing in the mixer, random samples are taken from the mixer, and the mixing uniformity is quickly detected by sodium chloride titration or near-infrared scanning. After confirming its coefficient of variation, granulation is then carried out.

[0015] This invention discloses an artemisia annua chicken feed and its preparation method. The invention scientifically combines dried artemisia annua powder of a specific particle size and artemisinin content (not less than 0.5%) with astragalus powder (astragaloside A content not less than 0.8%), which has immune-enhancing functions, forming a dual guarantee of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and immune regulation. Simultaneously, the precise proportion of trace elements (iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine) in the premix ensures metabolic balance, while the highly active phytase, cellulase, and xylanase complex enzyme system effectively decomposes anti-nutritional factors in the feed, significantly improving the digestibility and absorption rate of nutrients. The synergistic effect of these multiple active ingredients not only demonstrates excellent performance in promoting chicken growth and development and improving feed conversion rate, but also enhances the body's immune function and optimizes intestinal health, achieving a comprehensive improvement in growth performance, disease resistance, and intestinal microecology. This approach solves the technical problem that existing chicken feed formulations are often relatively singular, with a narrow functional focus, making it difficult to achieve the comprehensive benefits of growth, enhanced immunity, and improved gut health. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application or the prior art, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the preparation method of the Artemisia annua chicken feed of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0019] This invention provides a chicken feed containing Artemisia annua, wherein each ton of Artemisia annua chicken feed comprises 608-609 kg of corn, 255 kg of soybean meal, 10 kg of soybean oil, 30 kg of premix, 90 kg of limestone powder and 5 kg of Artemisia annua; The premix contains amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium, and enzymes.

[0020] The Artemisia annua is a dried and pulverized product of Artemisia annua, with a particle size passing through an 80-100 mesh sieve, and the content of artemisinin in Artemisia annua is not less than 0.5%.

[0021] The premix contains trace elements including iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium and iodine, with a weight ratio of iron:zinc:copper:manganese:selenium:iodine = 10-15:8-12:1-2:2-4:0.1-0.3:0.05-0.1.

[0022] The enzymes include phytase, cellulase and xylanase, with activities of phytase ≥5000 U / g, cellulase ≥4000 U / g and xylanase ≥6000 U / g, respectively.

[0023] The Artemisia annua chicken feed also contains 1-2 kg of Astragalus membranaceus powder, the particle size of which passes through an 80-100 mesh sieve, and the content of astragaloside A is not less than 0.8%.

[0024] Using an artemisia annua chicken feed of this invention, the present invention scientifically combines dried and pulverized artemisia annua with a specific particle size and artemisinin content (not less than 0.5%) with astragalus powder (astragaloside A content not less than 0.8%), which has immune-enhancing functions, forming a dual guarantee of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects and immune regulation. Simultaneously, the precise proportion of trace elements (iron, zinc, copper, manganese, selenium, iodine) in the premix ensures metabolic balance, while the highly active phytase, cellulase, and xylanase complex enzyme system effectively decomposes anti-nutritional factors in the feed, significantly improving the digestibility and absorption rate of nutrients. The synergistic effect of these multiple active ingredients not only demonstrates excellent performance in promoting chicken growth and development and improving feed conversion rate, but also enhances the body's immune function and optimizes intestinal health, achieving a comprehensive improvement in growth performance, disease resistance, and intestinal microecology. This approach solves the technical problem that existing chicken feed formulations are often relatively singular, with a narrow functional focus, making it difficult to achieve the comprehensive benefits of growth, enhanced immunity, and improved gut health.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the preparation method of the Artemisia annua chicken feed of the present invention.

[0026] This invention also provides a method for preparing Artemisia annua chicken feed, used to prepare the Artemisia annua chicken feed as described above. Including the following: Artemisia annua is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Artemisia annua powder; similarly, Astragalus membranaceus is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Astragalus membranaceus powder; corn and soybean meal are pulverized to 40-60 mesh respectively. Amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium and enzymes are mixed in proportion to form a premix; The crushed corn, soybean meal, artemisia annua powder, soybean oil, premix, astragalus powder, and stone powder are put into a mixer. During the mixing process, the humidity and temperature of the mixture are monitored in real time, and the speed and mixing time of the mixer are dynamically adjusted based on a PID algorithm to maintain the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity ≤5%. The mixed materials are granulated at 75-85℃ using a granulator to produce particles with a diameter of 2-4mm, and then cooled to room temperature. Package the cooled pelleted feed and store it in a cool, dry place.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, after the pelleting step and before the cooling step, the hot pelleted feed undergoes a stabilization treatment by temporarily storing it in an insulated chamber at 80-85°C for 3-5 minutes to fully gelatinize the starch and improve pellet firmness. Furthermore, before packaging, the cooled pelleted feed is graded and sieved to remove excessive fine powder and overly long pellets generated during pelleting, ensuring uniform product particle size. Simultaneously, during packaging and storage, inert gases (such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide) are introduced into the packaging bag or storage environment, or an anti-mold agent is sprayed onto the surface of the feed pellets to extend shelf life.

[0028] Before the raw materials are stored, each batch of corn and soybean meal is rapidly scanned using a near-infrared spectrometer to determine its moisture, protein, and fat content. The final formula ratio is then dynamically fine-tuned based on the actual test values ​​to achieve a precise nutrient concentration. Before crushing the corn and soybean meal, the raw materials are cleaned and impurities are removed using a primary cleaning sieve and magnetic separator to remove foreign objects such as rope ends, stones, and metal fragments.

[0029] The method for preparing Artemisia annua chicken feed also includes: establishing a digital twin system for the production process, collecting equipment status data in real time through sensors, and synchronously simulating the operating status of the physical production line in virtual space to achieve predictive maintenance of equipment failures and early warning of production bottlenecks.

[0030] The steam condensate and equipment cleaning wastewater generated by the granulator are recycled and treated for use as cooling tower replenishment water or for greening in the factory area, thus realizing the recycling of water resources.

[0031] In the crushing and granulation process, a pulse dust removal system is installed to collect and treat the dust generated during the production process. The collected dust raw materials are then safely mixed back into the mixing process in proportion to reduce losses and improve the workshop environment.

[0032] The control parameters of the PID algorithm are optimized through a machine learning model, which is trained based on historical mixing data. The inputs include ambient temperature, initial humidity of raw materials, and mixer load, and the output is the PID parameters.

[0033] The pelleting process employs a dynamic formula adjustment algorithm based on the chicken's growth stage. This algorithm calculates the amount of Artemisia annua and premix to be added based on the chicken's age, weight, and health indicators using a linear programming model, and adjusts the pelleting parameters in real time.

[0034] Before packaging, an online near-infrared spectroscopy analyzer was used to quickly detect the artemisinin content and moisture content of the cooled pelleted feed.

[0035] After mixing in the mixer, random samples are taken from the mixer, and the mixing uniformity is quickly detected by sodium chloride titration or near-infrared scanning. After confirming its coefficient of variation, granulation is then carried out.

[0036] During the mixing process, key process parameters such as mixer speed, humidity, temperature, and mixing uniformity are uploaded to the blockchain in real time for trusted storage. Based on the historical data accumulated in the blockchain, data mining algorithms are used to analyze and optimize the decision logic of the machine learning model, thereby dynamically adjusting the control parameters of the PID algorithm to form a continuously self-optimizing intelligent control closed loop.

[0037] Example 1: In this example, the preparation method of Artemisia annua chicken feed includes the following: Artemisia annua is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Artemisia annua powder; similarly, Astragalus membranaceus is dried at 40-50℃ until the moisture content is ≤8%, and then pulverized to 80-100 mesh to obtain Astragalus membranaceus powder; corn and soybean meal are pulverized to 40-60 mesh respectively. Amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium and enzymes are mixed in proportion to form a premix; 608 kg of crushed corn, 255 kg of soybean meal, 5 kg of artemisia annua powder, 10 kg of soybean oil, 30 kg of premix, 2 kg of astragalus powder, and 90 kg of limestone powder were added to a mixer. During the mixing process, the humidity and temperature of the mixture were monitored in real time, and the speed and mixing time of the mixer were dynamically adjusted based on a PID algorithm to maintain the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity ≤5%. The mixed materials are granulated at 75-85℃ using a granulator to produce particles with a diameter of 2-4mm, and then cooled to room temperature. Package the cooled pelleted feed and store it in a cool, dry place.

Amino acids, trace elements, vitamins, phosphorus, calcium and enzymes are mixed in proportion to form a premix; 608.5 kg of crushed corn, 255 kg of soybean meal, 5 kg of artemisia annua powder, 10 kg of soybean oil, 30 kg of premix, 1.5 kg of astragalus powder, and 90 kg of limestone powder were added to a mixer. During the mixing process, the humidity and temperature of the mixture were monitored in real time, and the speed and mixing time of the mixer were dynamically adjusted based on a PID algorithm to maintain the coefficient of variation of the mixing uniformity ≤5%. The mixed materials are granulated at 75-85℃ using a granulator to produce particles with a diameter of 2-4mm, and then cooled to room temperature. Package the cooled pelleted feed and store it in a cool, dry place.
