Description

I. Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and is for the invention of a camel milk substitute. II. Background Technology

[0002] First, the baby camel itself needs more camel milk. Compared to other mammals, camels produce less milk, which sometimes cannot fully meet the needs of calves. This often results in calves not being able to get enough milk, seriously affecting their survival rate and thus impacting the profitability of camel farming.

[0003] The main reasons include its unique physiological characteristics, breeding conditions, and environmental factors. 1. Physiological characteristics: Camels have a special milk production mechanism. Camel milk is stored in milk ducts. Only through the stimulation of suckling by their own calves will the mother camel synthesize and secrete milk. Milking time must be within 3 minutes. 2. Breeding conditions: Camel farming is not yet on a large scale. Most camels are raised by nomadic herders, who cannot carry disinfection and preservation equipment. Furthermore, milking requires milkers to establish a trust relationship with the camels and must be completed within a specific time frame, which leads to a limited milk supply. 3. Environmental factors: Camels live in hot and water-scarce desert or semi-desert areas, which affects the milk production of female camels.

[0004] II. Camel milk used in functional foods for humans Camel milk, known as "desert gold," boasts extremely high nutritional value. It is low in sugar and cholesterol, high in vitamin C and minerals, and can also prevent and alleviate various diseases, possessing significant medicinal value. Camel milk is widely developed and utilized.

[0005] Based on the above situation, our company has developed a camel milk replacer powder that can completely replace camel breast milk when camels lack milk or have insufficient milk, ensuring the survival rate of camel calves. At the same time, the use of camel milk replacer powder can save more of this "desert platinum" of camel milk for human consumption. Its components exert their effects such as lowering blood sugar, antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, improving human health. III. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The practical problem this invention aims to solve is to address the scarcity of camel milk by developing a camel milk substitute that can completely replace breast milk, promoting the growth and development of calves and increasing daily weight gain and survival rate. Through the use of this camel milk substitute, the insufficient supply of breast milk from mother camels is supplemented, while leaving more camel milk available for human consumption.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve the above problems is: a camel milk substitute, comprising the following ingredients by weight percentage: Whole milk powder 30-70%, high-protein whey powder 10-30%, casein 8-18%, whey protein concentrate 5-15%, oil 5-10%, calcium lactate 1-4%, vitamin complex 0.05-1.0%, trace element complex 0.2-2.0%, complex amino acids 2-5%, bioactive complex 1-10%.

[0008] Each kg of the vitamin complex contains the following components: Vitamin A (500,000 IU / g) 25-50g, Vitamin D (500,000 IU / g) 5-25g, Vitamin E (50%) 100-500g, Vitamin K3 (96%) 3.5-15g, Vitamin B1 (98%) 7-16g, Vitamin B2 (96%) 8.3-50g, Vitamin B6 (96%) 3-20g, Vitamin B1 (1%) 12 3-30g of Vitamin B5 (96% purity), 30-180g of Calcium Pantothenate (98% purity), 18-60g of Folic Acid (98% purity), 0.3-10g of Biotin (2% purity), 6.7-10g of Vitamin C (95% purity), 150-350g of Carrier.

[0009] Each kg of the trace element complex contains the following components: Copper glycinate 3-25g, ferrous glycinate 50-80g, manganese glycinate 40-140g, zinc glycinate 35-110g, calcium iodate 10-20g, sodium selenite 5-10g, cobalt chloride 3.5-10g.

[0010] The complex amino acid composition includes: 20%-40% lysine, 10%-20% methionine, 10%-25% threonine, and 15%-40% tryptophan.

[0011] Each kg of the bioactive compound contains: 80-200g lactoferrin, 200-800g immunoglobulin, 5-50g antimicrobial peptide, 2-50g lysozyme, 5-30g Enterococcus faecalis, 2-10g Bacillus licheniformis, 5-50g compound enzyme, and 275g carrier.

[0012] Each kg of the compound enzyme preparation includes 50-80g of protease, 120-180g of lipase, 80-120g of amylase, 80-120g of glucose oxidase, and 80-120g of α-galactosidase.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the milk substitute of this invention improves the growth performance of camel lambs, and increases daily weight gain and survival rate.

[0014] This camel milk replacer is designed according to the growth needs of camels, fully meeting the nutritional requirements of young camels for energy, protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. The protein content is over 60% casein, which is highly sensitive to digestive enzymes, ensuring a high digestibility and absorption rate. Microencapsulated linoleic acid with small fat globule size facilitates rapid digestion. The high fat content meets the specific fat requirements of young camels.

[0015] This product is rich in active substances such as lactoferrin and lysozyme, which have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immune-enhancing effects on young camels, effectively improving their growth performance and disease resistance, and increasing their daily weight gain and survival rate. Lactoferrin has a strong metal ion chelating ability, allowing it to competitively utilize the nutrient sources of iron-demanding microorganisms. The positively charged amino acids in lactoferrin can interact with anionic compounds on the surface of certain bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, leading to cell lysis; it also binds to bacterial lipopolysaccharides, disrupting the integrity of bacteria and their membranes. This achieves the effect of resisting pathogenic microorganisms. Lysozyme has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-enhancing effects; lysozyme and lactoferrin work synergistically to exert antibacterial effects. Camel milk is rich in vitamin C, which enhances immunity and has antioxidant functions. The high vitamin C content gives camel lambs strong stress resistance, enabling them to adapt to various stresses such as large temperature differences in the desert environment.

[0038] Application Experiment Example 1: Feeding Camel Lambs

[0039] Test location: Keping, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region

[0040] Specific details of the experiment: Camel calves were divided into two groups based on their weight and birth time, with 20 calves in each group. The experimental group was fed the camel milk substitute prepared in Example 1 of this invention, while the control group camel calves were nursed by their mothers.

[0041] Feeding method: After the camels had received sufficient colostrum, the control group camels nursed with their mothers. In the experimental group, camel calves were separated from their mothers and placed in individual pens, fed appropriate milk replacer. The amount of milk replacer was gradually increased from low to high, transitioning to feeding only milk replacer. The milk replacer was prepared by mixing milk with lukewarm water cooled to approximately 50°C at a ratio of 1:6-7. Feeding was done once or twice daily (08:00 and 20:00), with water provided after feeding. The amount of milk replacer was adjusted according to the camels' weight gain, and they were weighed every two weeks, with adjustments made after each weighing. They were allowed free access to natural pasture.

[0042] The average daily weight gain (ADG) and survival rate of the experimental and control groups were examined. Table 1. Camel lamb experiment in Keping, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
